Stand - holder for cards and photos
Eco-friendly design, simple execution and charming rustic charm distinguish these fun holders - stands for photos, cards, recipes and other cardboard and paper products.
These wooden stands with nameplateswill look great as a decoration for a dining table for a large number of people, will come in handy in the kitchen while you cook - you can insert a recipe into the holder, as well as any family photos, collages and reminder notes. As you may have guessed, you can easily find the main material for the craft on a walk in the forest or in the park - a tree branch with a diameter of 3-6 cm. The branch should be dry and, preferably, not eaten by bugs. If it is slightly damp, dry it at home on a radiator, in the oven or just a couple of days in the sun. The top layer of bark can be removed or left, but first cleaned with a hard brush from moss, dust and dirt.
Saw the branch into several equal parts,at least 3-4 cm in size. Don't worry about absolutely identical sizes of the stands, cut by eye. Unevenness and slightly different sizes will add even more naturalness to the natural design of things.
Each individual circle will need to be filed downdiameter. For this, it is best to take the thinnest saw that you can find. If you plan to use stands for thick cardboard signs, then the saw should be thicker. For convenience and safety, clamp each circle in a vice and saw to more than half the height of the holder.
Ready!If desired, the stands - holders can be varnished, decorated with ribbons or beads, but personally I really like the natural design. If the slot for a photo or card is too wide - no problem. Insert the bottom of the photo into a folded sheet of paper of a suitable width for the slot.The original master class on creating coasters with your own hands in English can be found on Curbly .
