Crafting Chestnut Characters on the Patio
A boy sits at a wooden patio table, connecting smooth brown chestnuts with matchsticks to build handcrafted figures during the fall season.
Traditional Autumn Crafts
Chestnuts harvested from horse chestnut trees have hard shells that harden further as they dry over time. Joining these seeds with small wooden sticks has long been a popular autumn pastime in many countries. Freshly fallen chestnuts are easier to pierce before the outer skin becomes firm.
