Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Karen from Expert Village. Now, I'll show you how to make this twisted tree. This is a really inexpensive item to make. All you need is a rock from your garden, a pair of scissors, and a paper bag. First, you want to take off any handles. Like this one has a handle. We'll remove that handle. Just rip it off. You don't have to worry so much about the bag. We'll look for that seam in the bag right here and cut right down along the seam and then cut the bottom off. You can open it up a little bit and cut the bottom off. You can even rip it off if you want. It doesn't have to be neat. Now, take your rock and place it in the center of the bag. We're going to fold the bag around the rock like this. Make like a little pouch and twist it, and that's forming the trunk of our tree. "
