    October 24, 2018 by Patti Estep 17 Comments

    Handmade for the Holidays is an ebook collection of 25 natural decorations to create using the pure beauty of nature to adorn your home this season.

    Why Use Natural Decorations?

    Over the last several years while writing this blog I have created many different projects using natural elements.

    There are a few reasons for this.

    • Probably the single most reason is, to me natural decorations make everything you create automatically look beautiful because nature itself is purely gorgeous.
    • For me and for many people, these elements are readily available.
    • It's very inexpensive to use free materials from your yard. So during the holidays, it's one less area to spend money. 

    So as we start to think about this season I put together a compilation of projects in an ebook to help you create and enjoy natural decorations for your own home.

      It's like baking bread. you come into the house and you feel at home, hungry and eady for a good book. I live in a rural area.. It is still close to town, butI have greenery, gardens, herbs and deer within reach. I will be retiring soon, and look forward to spending more time crafting, sewing, quilting an working with different materials. Right now, I just put lemon, limes, grapefruit and orange slices in the oven to dry. The smell is already filling the room....... Now to decorate the tree......

      I've always loved nature, even as a kid, I was always collecting leaves, or feathers, a beautiful rock, a flower, grasses and turn them into something beautiful,.. I just love to take long walks at the seaside and collect whatever looks appealing to me and turn it into a wreath or a bouquet or something else, walking at the seaside makes me very calm, is a way to deal with or forget some of my problems and hey, if you find tiny little shells doing that and you can use them in a lovely bracelet, it always reminds you of the healing of the sea

      I love nature especially the fall with all of it's color. It truly makes me grateful for the creation and it's Creator. Down in La, there isn't much fall color so when I can view fall color in person up north or even in decorations, I am inspired.

      I love to decorate with nature because it brings back memories of growing up on a farm. Nostalgic, peaceful, and warm!

      I have decorated with natural elements some over the years, but three years ago we moved to Nevada where I finally get all four seasons and love it. I came across your site a few weeks ago and just love it! You have inspired me to do more of the natural decorating.

      I live on 3 1/2 acres filled with over 300 trees. I love to use all kinds of natural items that I find in my yard and on hikes with my husband. From beach rocks to acorns, I love it all! I use naturals all year long 🙂 Not just for the holidays. I also use them for different crafts that I do with my daughters and grandkids. On Thanksgiving, we always do a Christmas craft. This year we will be making gnomes using pinecones from the yard 🙂 I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and inspiration. Would LOVE to see your collections of ideas 🙂

      I love nature because I love God. God has created and designed the heavens and firmament to show forth His handiwork. All nature is a reflection of everything we know and can know about God. Nature can be beautiful to look at, delectable to eat, complicated to understand and yet simple to observe.This is my father's world
      And to my listening ears
      All nature sings, and round me rings
      The music of the spheres
      This is my father's world
      The birds their carols raise
      The morning light, the lily white
      Declare their maker's praise
      This is my father's world
      I rest me in the thought
      Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
      His hand the wonders wrought!

      Congratulations on your book, Patti, it looks amazing.
      There are always natural elements in my C'mas decorations; I started making pomander balls as a new bride 55 years ago and have added various naturals over the years.

      I love nature because it reminds me that life outside is the universe's way of healing our souls. It happens "naturally" when you connect to nature.
      I have subscribed to your blog for a long time. I was never able to take myself away from everyday life but I could at least see and imagine what your were creating. I am retiring soon and I look forward to the moment when I am able to "hang out" with you and create fulltime!

      I will be moving to Austin next week. I think the seasons will be lost in the move. No more scarlet leaves to crunch though and no more snow for Christmas. I love the sun and I marveled at the full moon at 3 am walking my dog. She stops and smells every blade of grass around. When she saw a bunny she ran with me and my cane flying after her. In between the fir trees. I fell and couldn’t get up. So looked at the stars and picked up plnecones I will use later. A half hour later I managed to get back on my feet. Daisy came back. Got my cane up and we sedately walked home. There will be nature to find and explore. I will miss the Ohio but am open to Austin.

      I love to use natural decorations,too. Over the years, I've made quite a few, but never Twig Twees. Yes, that is the way I said it! I'll dust off my Dremel and give it my best efforts. I'm currently playing with inks on ceramic tiles. Again, you inspired me to get going. Thanks.
