I am always looking for ways to decorate with ordinary vintage and rustic items. After seeing bundles of sticks for sale at the local craft store, I had an idea to create a sort of “Dr. Seuss Christmas”. Since I live in the woods, I gathered a bunch of sticks (for free!)

I then spray painted some silver and some in a candy cane pattern. No need to be perfect with it, that’s kind of the point!
For the first set, I arranged them in a rusty bucket with some pine branches. But you can arrange them in any type of container!


I used these on my porch and I love the results!
