Twig flower arrangement tutorial






Have you ever seen the twig arrangement over at The TomKat Studio?



Well, that is where I got the idea to create one of these arrangements. I never would have thought that twigs and fake flowers would look so cute! Painting the flowers was the most time consuming part but after that it was pretty quick.







You will also need some dry twigs and a vase.
Just follow the pictures.
























You can skip this part and just twist the metal wire around twigs if you want instead of using the clear stretch cord.








Gather the twigs and place them into the painted vase. I placed a few pebbles into the bottom of my vase. The pebbles give it some weight and also help to keep the twigs in place.







And the finished product.
