Gather nature’s decorations to create an eye-catching winter wall hanging with Seasalt Cornwall

Celebrate the magic of winter by gathering seasonal foliage from your garden or local woodland to create this beautiful wall hanging. You can use any greenery, but we love foliage such as bay and thyme which will give your hanging a wonderful scent. If you have any leftover cuttings afterwards, try popping them in fillable baubles for an additional touch of nature on your Christmas tree.

You will need:

A length of dowel or foraged stick
Jute twine
Scissors
Foliage (such as eucalyptus, ivy, thyme and bay)
Pinecones
Cinnamon sticks
Dried orange slices
