country would sooth your senses and help you treminiscence about the past. Country crafts are a class apart from their city counterparts as they still have a personal touch to them and you tend to feel this strong feeling of belonging and bonding which are conspicuous by their absence in the machine made mechanized goods.
If you are intent on trying your hand at Country Christmas crafts, try to select a craft that would exude the fragrance of the rustic village charm and which would be characteristic of the countryside.
Here we are providing you with a simple procedure for preparing fragrance logs that would fill the entire room with its beautiful aroma. Things required are Dried herbs (eucalyptus, sage, rosemary, thyme, lavender etc.), Floral wire, Raffia, miniature pinecones.
Procedure:
Make small bundles out of each of the selected herbs. Arrange them into a bigger bundle by laying them in opposite directions so that the stem ends coincide and get camouflaged in the middle of the bundle.
Wrap the bundle at the center with a floral wire after wrapping the wire with raffia so that it doesn't show. Add a miniature pinecone. To lend a ladder effect, tie multiple bundles with the same piece of raffia. Cut between each section of herbs when you want to use a bundle for the fire. When you are through, place on simmering coals to smolder.
