Natural jewellery making

Elder trees are growing all around the place at the minute and are easy to spot once you know what you are looking for.
Elder wood is great for crafts and below is a tutorial about making elder beads for necklaces and bracelets. The wood can also be used to make pencils and a whole variety of craft items, so see how creative you can be.
If anyone local to Fidgets wants some there is a large green elder tree in the nature garden in the orchard just off the car park so help yourself to a branch!
