You may have seen my previous posts on how I’ve made use of our yard clippings. I made a yule log and tree for the holidays and thumbtacks. I finally came up with an idea for one of the thicker branches.
I made a photo holder with a carving in the branch. I wanted the branch to resemble those old trees that have initials and a heart carved into them.
I carved the heart with an Xacto knife. Working slowing, I carved the outline and then chipped away the bark and cleaned up the edges. Miraculously, I didn’t cut myself while doing this.
Once the heart was complete, I sawed a groove into the top of the branch and glued a paper clip into the groove.
