We needed a manger to go with our Nativity and since I couldn't find anything around the house that would work, we made one out of Hazelnut shoots (they grow like weeds in our yard) and string.
First I cut a bunch of shoots the same length, about 2 ft.
Then Daphne and I lashed them together. One of us holding while the other did the string.
We did 2 x's first, then lashed cross pieces across the center and up the sides.
Lastly, we put stabilizing ones on the bottom .
We filled it with long needle pine needles, since they are also abundantly available in our yard. It made a great substitute for straw.
