How to Make a Branches and Burlap Frame

This is totally a 5 minute craft. I mean, for YOU, I’m quite certain this is a 5 minute craft.

For ME, on the other hand, this was one of those ‘let’s take something super simple and make it totally more complicated than it has to be’ kind of crafts.

But, I promise, in reality this is, in fact, a five minute craft. Okay, maybe 10 minutes, but still, in theory this should be an easy peasy project.

And it would have been easy peasy for me too if I hadn’t been having one of those days. Actually, it has been one of those weeks. I seriously feel like I’m running about a week (or two or three) behind and can’t wrap my head around the fact that it’s basically the end of October. I mean, seriously people! I love fall as much as the next girl but how on earth did we get here this quickly. And the fact that I’m running about a week (or two or three) behind in my head means I’m also forgetting things left and right and remembering appointments, deadlines, field trips, etc. all at the last minute which totally throws me for a loop.

Can I get an Amen my friends?

So, I really should have known better than to try and squeeze in a craft between running errands and volunteering in 5th grade study hall but, hey, it’s only a 5 minute craft, right?

Yes, yes it is, unless you do things like start pulling apart a bundle of branches and have the majority go flying across the room.

Or once you’ve finally gotten your little branch bundles all put together and you go to start ‘stitching’ the twine around them you get a loop of twine stuck on your foot not once, not twice, but every.single.time and you want to pick up this simple little 5 minute craft and chuck it across the room.

But then, you look at the clock and realize that you literally only have 5 minutes to get it done before hopping in the car to the next thing and you know that you must prevail!

So you take a deep breath and another swig of your reheated coffee, unwind the twine from your foot and finish it in 3 minutes flat.

And you feel so glad that you didn’t chuck it across the room. 😉

Plus, it looks so sweet with a mini version of this fall printable.

So, I’m sure that for you, this truly will be a 5 minute craft.

Because I cannot imagine that YOU would ever have the sticks flying across the room or get your foot wrapped in the twine or want to chuck the entire craft across the room, right? 😉
