{ BIRCH TREE DOOR ORNAMENT REVISITED }

here is a little project from last winter 

so if you missed it i thought i would share again...

i love birch trees

and love to use them around the house 

during the holidays

here is a simple and "free"

way to decorate your door with birch

1. go on a hunt for a

piece of birch tree in the woods

( if there isn't birch where you live

you could use any kind of tree

and spray it white)

2. saw in half
3. drill holes in the top
4. drill hole in the back
for hanging
5. sneak into neighbors yard
and clip greens because
you don't have any
6. put the greens in the holes
on the top and hang


easy peasy!
