Tattered branches

Remember my post here about all of the gorgeous flowering branches I've seen lately?

Since I couldn't get my hands on any, I decided to make my own tattered branch version.

The branches were easy to come by~


And so was the white linen scrap material {from the depths of my fabric basket}~

See, being a pack rat has it's advantages~
{Good quality photos were extremely hard to come by~ too shaky+ white against white= much better looking branches in person}

These branches have made their way around my house, looking for the perfect spot~


The dining room table is safest place for them, but I tested them out on the coffee table too~
From yard clippings and sewing scraps....

... to shabby~ish indoor decor.

  6. GM T, You are one clever lady. I can tell your brain never stops creating. I know how that is. I don't create as much as I am always thinking of ideas. I am not very crafty,like you are. I think this is very clever and original. kathysue

  8. T~ Everywhere you put them they look absolutely marvelous! What a great way to decoate.
    I have four curly willow branches that keep getting moved around, because I don't really like the way I have them. Perhaps they need some tattered shabbiness added to them!
    Thanks for the inspiration!
