A very simple thing that you can make is a table runner crafted from twigs. The idea is to have the twigs cut to size so they’re all more or less the same length. Place them parallel to each other across the center of the table so you know how many you’re going to need. Then tie twine around the twigs to connect them. To also add a little bit of color to your design you can use decorative beads. Check out compostandcava if you need more details.

Not all twigs are the same and that actually increases the number of cool project ideas that you can do with them. Even those very thin and flexible twigs can be used to make interesting things like this pumpkin wreath. You can turn this into a decoration for Thanksgiving, Halloween or just fall in general. The twigs make up the center of the pumpkin as well as the stem. Check out lilyardor to find out what else you need for this project.

Not all projects require big amounts of twigs. This one from refabdiaries focuses more on quality rather than quantity. The idea here is to turn a cool-looking piece of wood such as a fallen branch into a jewelry organizer by attaching small hooks to it and hanging it on a wall with twine.

Painting the twigs is also an interesting option. You can use this technique when crafting a flag decoration. This could be a nice little project for the 4th of July and it’s great for both kids and adults alike. You need red, white and blue paint, a bunch of sticks that are relatively straight and cut to the same length as well as a glue gun. More details can be found on nontoygifts.

Thin green twigs are great for making little bird’s nests. They’re lovely little decorations perfect for Easter when you can fill them with colored eggs. To make them you need twigs, thin floral wire, scissors and a container with water. Green twigs are best because they’re flexible. They need to be soaked in water to make them even softer. More details can be found on makeanddocrew.

A lot of twig crafts are so simple that even kids could do them. One is a pen holder that they can make out of a repurposed tin can.

A few twigs can also totally change the look of existing decorations. For example, if you have a grapevine wreath, you can use a few twigs to change its design or better said to customize it. The idea comes from creatingreallyawesomefunthings and we find it very inspiring and really simple, especially since you don’t need anything more than just a few sticks and some string.

Making wreaths out of twigs gets considerably easier if you don’t go for the regular round shape. You can make your twig wreath look similar to a frame and you can hang a few ornaments inside. A nice example is offered on tarynwhiteaker where the wreath is painted white and has hanging pine cones at the center.

Speaking of frames, check out this other lovely project which we found on carolynshomework. It’s a picture frame made out of four twig bunches and ribbon. The picture is attached to a piece of ribbon using double-sided tape and stays in place as long as you don’t mess with it too much. It’s a cool way to put a picture on display without using the same boring frames that everyone has.

We mentioned earlier than wreaths don’t always have to be round. Based on that idea you can create all sorts of cool and interesting designs which brings us to a project featured on thepaintedhive. This right here is a starburst wreath and it’s made of twigs. It’s really nice and simple because there’s no need for any additional decorations and ornaments to make it stand out. The design alone is quirky enough.
