Getting outside and collecting twigs for a project is a good way to get fresh air, while you're waiting for spring to arrive or early in the morning in the summer. This mini twig trellis is a good refresher for some wiring techniques.

Wood Burning Patterns

A twig palisade fence is made by attaching vertical twigs to two wires strung parallel to the ground between fence posts or trees. They are often made by attaching upright branches or twigs to horizontal wooden stringers too. The nice part about this type of fence is that you can leave it partly finished and come back to it if you run out of twigs, simply wrap the wire loosely in place and then you can unwind it when you want to do some more. #diyfence #twigfence #diygardencrafts

Thrift store finds make great garden art, the limit is your creativity and imagination. Unique bird baths, garden totems, rain chains - the options are endless.

As a crafter, I know that it's impossible to keep track of all the jars, cans, mixed plastic bags full of all your precious little odd bits, especially when you can't see into the container. My craft storage is a bit hit and miss. Learn how to keep everything organized using mason jars. Now there's no excuse for not putting things away, and I can see at a glance what I've got, and what to replace when I run out. #organizingcrafts #masonjaruses #craftstorage

This resources list changes all that. Here's the place with information on actually carrying out the instructions, and putting all that inspiration into practice. #craftresources #rusticcrafts #diycrafts

Tiny projects are a lot of fun to make. DIY your own little porch or kitchen to decorate in a country style. You can make these projects out of whatever you would normally throw in the garbage (or the recycle box) and because they're miniature, they don't take much to make. Tiny accessories like a miniature wreath brighten up the door and welcome the visitor in. #miniatureprojects #dollhouseprojects #diycrafts

Every garden needs a few. They can be funny and punny, or as a nod to a special gardening friend. I save up bits of old siding, torn off a wall in a renovation, or beg for the scraps from a fence or bit of construction. What would your garden sign say? #gardensigns #diysigns #diygarden
