Last week Trees Atlanta gave suggestions for Kate's Club readers who would like to plant their memory tree. Not everyone has a green thumb or lives in a climate where this is an easy option. The following project is a way to make your memory tree.

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Find a twig with several branches.
  2. Place a lump of clay in the bottom of a clay pot or paper / Styrofoam cup.
  3. Insert the twig securely so that it remains upright.
  4. Cut out big leaves from the sheets of paper.
  5. On each leaf write a special memory with the loved one. (If the project is done as part of a group, include the name of the person who died.)
  6. Tie the leaves to the tree.
  7. Photographs can also be used to tie the leaves to the tree.

If you have the chance to make a memory tree, we would love to share pictures on the blog.
