Materials needed

Dry coconut leaves

Look around your garden! You will find umpteen varieties of twigs. Why not make an arrangement out of those twigs? Nothing is as satisfying as making your own arrangement. This twig arrangement was made out of the stuff from my garden!

You need.

  • Some hard twigs
  • A cane bowl or any bowl,on which twigs can be stuck.
  • Few artificial flowers
  • Styrofoam or oasis
  • Soft twigs. (I had used dried coconut leaves cut into strips)


Apply white glue to soft twig

Stick the soft twig to the container

Method

Step 1.

Apply white glue on the container. Gather the soft twigs and spread white glue on it as well. Smoothen the twigs and press it on the container. Press it well. Let it dry.

Step 2.

Cut the styrofoam or oasis to fit the container and arrange the twigs and flowers according to your imagination.

Step 3.

If you want to paint the container to match your décor ,use a suitable matching paint. I had painted it dark brown, to go with my decor.

Step 4.

Place the dried arrangement inside the container.

Yes, that’s it! Your home made twig arrangement is ready!

Painted the twig container dark brown to suit my decor

My wife does similar arrangements to this as well. She usually does it for a special occasion like Easter or Christmas.
