sticks Archives - Craft Collector

I love taking things that normally wouldn’t be used for decorating and turning them into something special. What I love even more is a project that is affordable and easy to accomplish. What better way to do both then to use sticks and branches to give your house that homey feel. And since sticks are pretty much free, I would say it’s a win for everyone! Here are a few easy but classy ideas for incorporating sticks into your home decor.

1. Fallen Branch Coat Rack

This coat rack from Garden Therapy is both cute and easy to make. With a touch of paint these fallen branches are a subtle way to bring nature indoors.

2. Twig Letters

Adding alphabet letters to any home brings a certain personal touch to the decor. Over at the Happy Housie they have come up with a brilliant and rustic take alphabet letters on a budget.

3. Twig Vase

If you have a glass jar and some twigs hanging around then this tutorial from Iowa Girl Eats is for you. These could easily be made quickly for affordable but not cheap looking rustic wedding centerpieces.

4. Driftwood Lamp

Beach themed rooms are crazy popular, and for good reason. The calm colors and clean finishes always inspire a feeling of zen. That is why I love this fantastic lamp from Timneve Blog made with the help of a Kmart lamp.

5. Manzanita Branch

This tutorial from Lia Griffith involves only paint and a branch, it coudln’t be easier. Adding such a simple decoration also adds an amazing focal point for any mantle or entry table.

6. Rustic Chandelier

This chandelier is so cool that I’m wishing I had a home that would accommodate it. Crafty Butt has a great tutorial on how to make this fantastic rustic lighting feature.

7. Branch Artwork

I love how this heart branch artwork turned out. The ombre effect that they created at eHow is too cute not to make.

8. Tree Branch Light Ball

I absolutely love this ball of light made from sticks and a balloon. Over at Useful DIY they give an in depth tutorial on how to make this fabulous lamp.

9. Shadow Chandelier

How cool would this be to have in your bedroom? At first glance it looks like a crazy difficult project to complete, but at DIY Tag they have a nifty video to help you along.

10. Sunburst Mirror

This is by far my favorite take on the sunburst mirror trend. A La Mode used different sized driftwood sticks and added multiple layers for texture on this amazing accent mirror.
