Make a Nature Table

seeds from pinecones and seedpods

There are many ways you can display natural treasures in your home:

  • Nature Table or Shelf: Designate a flat surface for shells, acorns, etc. Use colored fabric to protect the surface (and to add a decorative note). For a little extra fun, make it a mini-museum, using folded index cards as name plates for each item.
  • Vase: A clear vase can store a lot of less delicate items -- rocks, shells, nuts, etc -- in a relatively small space.
  • Shoe Holder: Place objects in a hanging shoe organizer with clear pockets, found at many dollar stores or other discount retailers.
  • Box It Up: The many different compartments in a tackle, sewing or tool box are great organizers.
