Wooden panel
Here we are with the first non-recipe post! Walking through our forest I couldn’t resist collecting bark pieces lying around. At home they only had to be cleaned and ranged for drying. To fasten a test tube I drilled two 1/5″ holes. This is quite easy with a hand brace because some parts of the bark are quite fragile. At the bottom of the test tube I glued a small piece of driftwood (you can buy driftwood at florists or crafting shops) to the bark. That looks nice and prevents the tube from sliding down. Take the test tube aside and spread some clear varnish on both sides of the bark; quite easy if you choose a spray can. After the varnish has dried lead a 10″ hemp ribbon through the first holes from the back of your bark to the front. Turn it round the test tube and return to the back through the second hole. Make a strong knot on the backside to fix the test tube and a second knot to get a hanger loop. Fix both knots with some glue.
Give a single flower and maybe some ivy or any other tendril into the tube and you’ll have a real eye-catcher in your home wherever it’s hanging.
