You may have found a twig or two in your backyard or front lawn if you live in an area with a lot of trees and plants. Don’t toss them out. You can construct something beautiful out of those basic twigs! And with the spring and summer just around the corner, you will be going out on more walks where you will find some fallen leaves, flowers, or twigs along the way which are a great addition to your home decor.
With that said, here are 15 creative and fun DIY crafts found in nature!
