Ever since I was a kid growing up in the woods I’ve had a love of crafts made from items found in nature. Over at Man Made (an entire site devoted to man crafts!) Chris shares a decidedly grown-up idea for those stray branches that need trimming: Turn them into gorgeous tree branch magnets! He made his using dried, seasoned branches from a fallen Maple tree, which have incredible coloring and detail. (He also gets bonus cool points for having a CSA share!) [how to make tree branch magnets]
Project estimate:
- Tree branches, free
- Saw, on hand
- Sandpaper, on hand or $1 and up
- Drill, on hand
- Magnets, $1 and up
- JB Weld or other 2-part epoxy, on hand or about $3 and up
Total: $1 and up

That is so cool! I love crafts that are not typical.
