to make a basic yule log, you will need the following:
- a log about 14 - 18" long.
- pine cones.
- dried berries, such as cranberries.
- cuttings of mistletoe, holly, pine needles, and ivy.
- feathers and cinnamon sticks.
- some festive ribbon - use paper or cloth ribbon, not the synthetic or wire-lined type.
- a hot glue gun.
