A Canton, TX RV Park vacation is always fun, but eventually you’ll have to leave the beauty of the resort and return home.  Parting can bring a touch of sadness, but you don’t have to leave everything you’ve experienced behind. Collecting some beautiful pieces of nature while you’re camping allows you to infuse your home with some of nature’s souvenirs. Here’s how.

Nature Abounds in RV Parks

Keep your eyes open as you explore therv park in canton tx park and our beautiful walking trails. Small, natural items can easily be displayed to remind you of your trip. You can pick up different things to collect, or go with a theme. Some pieces of nature you might want to consider are:

  • Moss,
  • Rocks,
  • Bark (don’t remove bark from live trees, as this can kill them, but feel free to strip it off fallen branches),
  • Branches, twigs, and logs,
  • Leaves,
  • Flowers,
  • Pine cones, and
  • Acorns.

And that list is by no means exhaustive. Whatever piece of nature catches your eye, there’s bound to be a way to preserve and memorialize it.

Store Your Items

Certain items will need more care than others. For instance, flowers and fresh leaves will need to be dried or pressed as soon as you’re able in order to avoid wilting. If you find acorns on wet ground, you may want to let them dry before bagging them up for the voyage home, and beware of acorns with holes in them, as they may carry creatures. No matter what you pick, keep your items somewhere safe until you can get them home and start playing with them.

Display Your Canton TX RV Park Creations

There are so many ways to use the bits of nature you’ve collected. If you need help getting started, then Décor by the Seashore has several craft ideas for each of the items listed above in her 10 Natural Items to Craft Into Home Décor post. We especially love the painted gold leaves, the DIY pressed herb candles, and the DIY river rock trivets, and that barely scratches the surface.

Even if you don’t have the time or energy to turn your items into crafts, you can always find an appropriately sized bowl to store your treasures. They make great table and mantelpiece displays.

We hope you’ll keep a bit of nature in your home year-round. It’s a great way to remind you of your fabulous vacation, and bring a little of the peace and excitement of your outdoor adventures inside.
