12 Days of Christmas Crafts #10 and #11

Here's some 'old-time' crafts we did at Fort Sisseton and at our HS group Christmas craft party...and don't you just love the Ingall's at Christmastime!?!

Yule logs...very simple project. Simply tie on cedar or whatever branch cuttings you have, cinnamon sticks, and pinecones. This was a tradition started in Germany to offer your friends and sit and visit while the log was burning. It's a traditional Christmastime thing to do if you have a fireplace :)

This is a darling little craft. The kids made these at Fort Sisseton. They are ornaments made from sliced logs and dried, pressed flowers. The flowers are glued to the logs with Mod Podge and a wire is strung thru to hang it. So simple and sweet!
