Winter branches

After pruning my trees in spring this year I found it very hard to part ways with all those little branches! I decided to store them in a pile in the backyard thinking I might need them some day. That day has just come as these branches were perfect for the winter table decor I had in mind.

They were very dry and ready to use in my white tree branches decor, easy to cut so I could adjust the size with my bare hands and some of the branches also had some buds on (these are coming from a cherry dead tree I lost to frosting in spring; it was really painful as I try real hard to grow cherry trees for the past four years with no success). If the branches you find are not dry, keep them in the house for a few days preferably close to a source of heat (but obviously not directly on sources like a fireplace).

I wanted to make my winter table decor with pom poms cause we absolutely love pom poms and have like tons of these around the house! I made these cute pom pom decoration ideas to use in my cute vases I bought with no purpose in mind, I just thought they’re too adorable to resist! I’m happy that now I got the chance to display some of them around the house in such a beautiful home decor idea!

My winter table decor literally took minutes to work on! It would’ve been about 10 minutes, I would say, if I didn’t have to wait for the primer and the paint to dry. I did buy fast dry primer and paint so I was able to finish the project in an afternoon.

I am totally smitten with how these lovely pom pom branches turned out and trust me, my photos don’t do them any justice (in other words, I suck at taking photos lol). Give these winter branches a try and you’ll fall in love within minutes! Such a cheap home decor idea but so impressive!

Winter Table Decor

Materials:

• old tree branches in various sizes
• thick brush
• spray primer for wood (I used gray as I had some available and didn’t wanna purchase new primer but white would do a better job)
• white spray paint for wood
• white pom poms in various sizes
• low heat glue gun
• glue sticks
• vase

Directions:

• Before starting, make sure you work in a well ventilated area, wear a mask and protect the surface with lots of newspapers or cardboard.
• Using a thick brush, clean the branches from dust particles and dry, chipped bark.

• Place the branches on a large working surface, next to each other and spray with primer on one side.

• Leave to dry, flip the branches and spray the other side.

• Once the primer is completely dry, repeat the last steps for the spray paint.
• Leave to dry completely before moving to the next step.
• Once all branches are dry, grab the glue gun and start gluing pom poms to the branch, alternating the sizes. You only need a very small drop of glue for each pom pom. Apply some pressure to the pom poms when attaching to the branch. Not too much though, to avoid breaking the branch.
• Display in a pretty vase as home decor or centerpiece.
