Fall is here with a vengeance. The first rain event in a while, and you can feel the change. There are even maples turning already, which gives a taste of what's to come.

The other thing you might want to do is wildcrafting and cut some twigs to make into twig wreaths . They are good to make ahead so they have time to dry before the Christmas season. Then you can attach bells, pine cones or any other small items you have around.

I like to make these kinds of wreaths out of willow or grapevines as both of these are flexible and strong at the same time. You can make the base out of these, then attach other twigs that may not be as easy to wind around, by wiring them on.

If you are busy building some rustic crafts we would love to see them; go to the page linked here - scroll to the bottom to see where to share your story and add some pictures.

When you've built something you're proud of, brag it up! Most groups love to hear what others have been doing, so share your pictures on there with a write up on the project.

Make sure you get signed up for notifications on Blue Fox Rustic on Facebook to stay in touch, lots of projects are happening here in our new locale.
