Like many of the folk arts, the art form evolved out of a functional practice. In the 19th century farm women hung sheep skins over their farmhouse window openings to keep out the elements. To let in light and air, the women used sheep shears to snip small openings in the skins. The openings evolved into more refined designs that were transferred to paper which allowed for more embellishment. Over time a new Polish craft tradition was created and is now widely celebrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis flat pack, DIY Floral Tree of Life is made of plywood and unpainted.
