friday creative

today's project is a little fall home or party decor idea. it's cute and super easy to put together, a twig photo holder...

supplies:

-found twigs (my doggie ellie helped find these ones)

-twine or jute

-photo

how to:

-break twigs into approximately the same length and gather together as desired, binding one end (just one for now) with jute. i used about 8 twigs and mine are around 7 inches.

-insert photo (my photo is a 3.5x5) between twigs where it will sit/stand nicely (towards the back) and then wrap the other end of twigs with jute and secure. and make sure to do this all carefully so as to keep twigs and photo in place.

-ta-da!

-this photo holder would also be super cute as a place card holder or a table number at a wedding!

happy friday!

xo, carly

p.s. miss kim, consider this a teensy tiny sneak peek for you of konnor's pics with more to come soon!
