If you want to add more nature to your interior, then you can use tree branches as home decor.
It's not hard to turn branches into decorations - you just need to know how to clean, trim, and probably paint them well.
Here are a few tips on how you can do it.
Collect Tree Branches
Start by collecting tree branches from your yard or a nearby forest.
Choose branches that are sturdy and interesting in shape. Make sure they are dry and free from insects.
Clean and Trim
Remove any loose bark, leaves, or twigs from the branches. Trim them to the desired length using a saw or pruning shears.
You can also break them if they are small enough.
Safety First
Be careful when handling branches, especially if you need to cut or break them.
Use gloves and safety goggles if necessary to protect your hands and eyes.
Choose Decoration Ideas
- Centerpiece. Arrange branches in a vase or container to create a natural centerpiece for your dining or coffee table.
- Wall Art. Paint or decorate the branches and hang them on the wall as art pieces.
- Jewelry Holder. Place smaller branches in a decorative container to hold your necklaces, bracelets, or earrings.
- Seasonal Decor. Use branches to create seasonal decorations. For example, hang ornaments on them for Christmas or add flowers for spring.
- Decorate. Get creative with your branches. You can paint them, wrap them with twine or fairy lights, or add ribbons and artificial flowers to match your home's style.
Secure
If you're making a centerpiece or wall art, use glue, wire, or brackets to secure the branches in place.
Placement
Put your branch decorations where they'll be most eye-catching. Centerpieces can go on tables, wall art on the walls, and jewelry holders on your dresser or vanity.
