disclosure hereEach month I team up with my blogging friends and share a craft project with you made from supplies I have been hoarding collecting. We call it the Craft Room De-Stash Challenge. This month I am sharing my DIY twig flower vase that I made with some broken branches and a glass vase.
I can’t even tell you how quick and easy this twig flower vase project was and the fact that my sweet hubby did all the work makes me love it even more. He is the best at executing the crazy ideas that are trapped in my overwhelmed, creative brain.

A couple of weeks ago we had a huge wind storm that covered our yard with broken branches and twigs. My hubby was doing a yard clean up while I was working trolling the internet and I came across some cute and easy twig projects on Pinterest.
I absolutely love adding an element of nature to my décor and what better way than to recycle, reuse and repurpose what you already have on hand?
Twig Flower Vase Supplies
*This post contains affiliate links and you can read my disclosure here.
- Variety of twigs (fat and skinny)
- Glass vase (my vase was saved from a birthday bouquet)
- Burlap or any scrap of sturdy dark fabric (we used a scrap from a potato sack reupholstering project)
- Hot glue gun (hubby broke out his Craftsman glue gun instead of my cute pink glue gun)
- Pruning Shears (trim your twigs the length of the vase)
- Twine and accent pieces (twine, lace, tags and key are from my flea market stash)
Easy Twig Vase Directions
- Gather your sticks, lots of sticks, in a variety of sizes with the bark in the same shade or tone. We opted to go with the gray tones since that is a color used predominantly throughout our house.
- You’ll need a glass vase and it doesn’t have to be a cylinder (which would be easiest) but I do have a square vase I will use for my next project.
- Wrap your vase with the burlap (or dark fabric) and use the hot glue to adhere it to the vase. You want to use a dark fabric color because there will be gaps in between the irregular shaped twigs and a light color will show through the gaps.
- Trim the twigs the length of your vase with the cut end at the bottom which helps it maintain a flat, stable bottom surface.
- Hot glue the twigs around the vase concentrating on keeping your twigs as straight as possible so you don’t get a slanted pattern. You can overlay smaller twigs to fill in the gaps.
- Wrap with twine and add your accent pieces. I wrapped a pieces of twine and lace around the twigs to add some contrasting texture and help keep the twigs securely in place. I also added two tags and a vintage key from my flea marketing stash.

So effective and creative! Love the little tag you made also.
I love the tag too…made from little trinkets collected along my flea market path.
I love this idea for a little outdoorsy touch. So cute!
I try to have a bit of nature in each room. This vase adds just the right touch to my table.
I love the whimsy of this project – and that it costs virtually nothing! 😀 What a great way to make the best of a bunch of fallen branches-
Yes, I too love the whimsy of the simple vase. Grateful we only had small branches fall and not huge limbs.
I love the rough texture of the twigs mixed with the soft lace! ‘Very pretty project! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Thank you Marci. I love everything about this project and the fact that it was inexpensive is the extra bonus.
That is right up my alley! LOVE IT
Thanks Deborah….I love a good cheap and easy craft project. 🙂
I really like the creative tag you made. It just adds to the charm. This is a great project for those of us who live on wooded lots.
Thank you very much Donna.
What a great idea, a good way to use the hurricane debris tee hee. It is a simple project with such texture. I love how organic it is. The lace and tag add the perfect touch.
Thank you Debra. I love the lace and tag too.
I share your love for a little nature in your decor! I bring home twigs, leaves, dried flowers, pebbles and moss from every walk I take. I like how this vase turned out a lot! Scheduled a pin for later.
Thank you….I like how it turned out too.
