Tree Bark Hurricanes: An easy (free) DIY project

We have a big tree in our front yard and usually it just provides me with fabulous sticks and branches.  For some reason though, it gave us an added bonus this weekend.  The winds kicked up and the lawn was covered with little pieces of tree bark.   Hmmm.  What to do....?  How about glue pieces to empty jars and make tree bark hurricanes?


I had the boys gather up a little pile of the bark pieces for me.  (They're such good boys!)

I grabbed a few empty glass jars and gave them a quick shot of Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass Spray.  Then I just fired up my glue gun and glued the pieces around the sides of the jars.

Wrap a little twine around the middle to finish it off and you're done.

Easy!

These turned out great! I have a couple of friends that will be thrilled if I make these for them! Looks like I need to head outside before the rain comes!

Um. We're on the same wave length. I made something like that with fabric leaves!

I've never seen that spray paint before. I like the look it provides!

Now I want some tree bark!

Such a cute idea, Vivienne. And free... even cuter.
