Like the idea of using pretty cotton stems as home décor?
It’s actually very easy to make your own copycat branches using ordinary cotton balls from the dollar store and pine cones! Display a bundle of these DIY stems in your home for a fresh looking touch of “Farmhouse” style décor that looks super realistic.
One branch of real cotton stems in the floral department can cost around $10, so if you already have these items on hand like me, this could be a free or inexpensive craft.
DIY Cotton Stem Branches
Idea originally found on HGTV
Supplies Needed:
Directions:
1.) Go on a little nature walk and collect small branches outside. You may need to trim down large pieces until you have a desired height to work with.
2.) Cut pieces off of a pine cone to glue as the cotton’s “stem”. Loosen a cotton ball a little.
3.) Glue cotton to a branch. I put glue on the branch then pressed the ball around it.
4.) Glue pieces of pine cone around base of cotton ball for the “stem.”
5.) Repeat the process until entire branch is covered in desired amount of cotton stems.
I placed a couple of branches together in a vase and it looks super cute in my bathroom.
The best part is, I had all the supplies already on hand! I think this could also be a fun homemade gift idea with Mother’s day coming up next month, or perhaps an inexpensive way to make an entire wreath out of cotton stems.
