Inside: Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference. Like trimming the tree with raffia bows.
Raffia Bows
I admit it–sometimes my creative juices have all dried up, and I’m hard-pressed to come up with something clever, original, beautiful, compelling, etc. . . For a lot of reasons, this accurately describes this year. (More on that later.) But as I’ve been playing around with crafty materials, I kept thinking, “simple raffia bows on the tree.” So, for lack of a better idea, I tried it.
And I kind of liked it.
Enough to use it for a simple Christmas craft post.
So here it is, plain and simple:
Take long wispy strands of raffia, and create a bow with long tails. Place these at various places on your tree, or for that matter, other areas of Christmas decor. Notice how the bow streams down, like a natural tinsel.
Pretty cool. Pretty easy. Something anybody can do.
Give your tree a natural look with raffia bows!
