I'm not going to even try to explain how to weave this willow and wool Christmas decoration! If you'd like to have a go at making it just look very carefully at the photo and copy. All you need are pieces of freshly cut willow, trimmed to your desired size and some red wool to tie them together.
We were given one of these by a (then) 12 year old friend of the family as a Christmas gift who'd made it himself. We've been making them as small gifts for friends every year since.
