This year my crafty Christmas endeavors have all pretty well been trying to recapture something remembered from when I was a kid. There have been things I remember making with my family, like clothespin reindeer ornaments and things inspired by my Christmastime favorites like these gumdrop ornaments and this gumdrop wreath... Then there are other

This decor for Christmas tree is made from birch bark, totally without glue. It is fixed with wooden nail. Size and color can be little bit different. Mostly work was made from birch bark. It has qualities of thermoregulation; it is antiseptic and serves as waterproof material. In ancient times a birch bark processing was very common in the territory of Latvia. But a modern lifestyle has almost exterminated this handicradt and there is only one professional workshop in Latvia now. By stdying traditions and objects made from the bark, we learn and teach others to maintain this handicraft. The handicraft is alive if it is used in everyday life, therefore we are asking you to join in maintaing the processing of birch bark.

I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about birch bark that I am completely and utterly obsessed with. I’ve always been a sucker for all things chipped, peeled, and wooden — and the fact that it’s white might just be the icing on the cake. Everytime I see a birch tree, I rush […]

Cone shaped trees made of naturally foraged birch bark from the forests of Nova Scotia. Beautiful for a tabletop or shelf these come in many sizes and each one is uniquely created by hand. A lovely gift or personal decoration. Variation of colours of the bark is completely natural and makes these even more beautiful. Natural woodsy hues and textures. No one is the same. Prices and sizes vary. Size variations may differ by up to (+\-) 2 inches. I’m a local Nova Scotia artist who believes in creating unique, one of a kind pieces by sustainably using elements from nature, collecting and repurposing items that would possibly go to waste, and designing greater things as gifts and decor items.

How are your holiday decorations coming along? I decorate in fits and starts - I'll get ambitious and knock out 3 projects simultaneously, and then I'll have a couple of days of just not feeling it. Unfortunately, I usually get in a creative mood when I'm at work and can't do anything about it (thanks, Pinterest!) Here are some of the ornaments I made last year. I was feeling very gung ho and crafty. The pinecone map ornament was my first one, and to this day is still my favourite. There is something about the shape and texture of a pinecone (real or crafted) that appeals to me. And that's what made me make one from birch bark as well. It doesn't hurt that birch is my favourite tree. Like so many other people, I collect sand from the beach whenever we go on vacation. I liked the idea of displaying some of that sand on our Christmas tree with these glass vacation memory ornaments. I tried my hand at mod podge for the first time last year as well. I bought a book of sheet music from a local used book store and cut the sheets into strips to be applied to a styrofoam ball. The song I picked was "Jingle Bells" - fitting I think. The last ornament style was the simplest - just scraps of ribbon inserted into a clear glass ornament. I love this ribbon though - so glittery. And the colour of the outside ribbon changes depending on how the light is hitting it. Do you make handmade ornaments? Are they ones you keep year after year, or do you like to switch them out periodically? Mine are still around, but I'd like to try my hand at some Victorian-styled ones this year.
