Birchbark Container Scalloped Edging

Cutout Scalloped Edge Birchbark Container
Use this Scalloped Edge Birchbark Container for storage or add it to your collection. The crafter used Spruce Root to put the container together. Then he or she cut out a scalloped piece of Birchbark and attached it around the top of the container with more Spruce Root. A light coat of polyurethane gives it a bit of a shine. Otherwise, the crafter left the Birchbark in its natural state.
