NATURAL WALL PLAQUE (or sit on desk or table)

You'll need a slab of tree bark; assorted decorative items such as dry moss, leaves, seed pods, feathers, cones, shells, etc; tacky glue; thin wire.
Lay bark on work area and decide which side you'll use. Arrange items til you're pleased. You may create an image, such as a bird, or a collage, or beach items, flower arrangement - be creative and let your imagination flow. When satisfied, glue items in place, attach wire to back for hanging. YOu may also nail or glue on a loop cut from a soda pop 6 pack holder.
Instead of a wall hanging, you may use smaller, thicker pieces of bark or wood, or even small branches to make bookends and knick-knacks to sit on tables, etc.
