Quick Craft: Metal Branch

One blank wall + One need to display holiday greetings = One faux-metal branch.

That's the conclusion you came to too? No? Well, you may join the crazy train after seeing how easy and effective this lil' project is.

Here's what you need:

1 branch (I used Curly Willow as the one in our yard needed a trim. Find one in the woods!)

1 can metallic spray paint

Nails/screws

Ribbon

Total Cost: $6-$10

The branch.

Rust-Oleum Metallic Silver

Sprayed, dried (about 36 hours), nailed onto wall.

First draft of ribbon hanging.

Ribbon split up - Holiday greetings taped on!

Works like a charm

Love it.

There's plenty of room for more as greetings roll in, and the current plan is to have this branch be a permanent fixture, displaying photos, notes, and cards year-round. All I have to do is switch out the ribbon!
