Directions
Collect branches from your yard, choosing ones that are straight and free of rot or damage.
Use pruning shears or a small saw to cut the branches to your desired lengths, ensuring they fit the space where you plan to display them.
Sand the branches to remove any rough edges or bark, creating a smooth surface.
If desired, apply wood stain or paint to the branches to match your decor. Allow them to dry completely.
Spray the branches with a clear sealant to protect them and enhance their natural beauty.
Arrange the branches on a flat surface, experimenting with different layouts until you find one you like.
Use strong adhesive or a hot glue gun to attach the branches together at contact points, securing the arrangement.
Once the glue has dried, attach picture hanging hardware to the back of the arrangement.
Measure and mark the spot on your wall where you want to hang the decor, then mount it securely.

Variations & Tips
To customize this DIY to your personal taste, consider experimenting with different finishes. For a more modern look, paint the branches in a monochromatic color scheme or use metallic spray paint for a touch of glamour. You can also incorporate additional elements like fairy lights, small hanging ornaments, or even dried flowers to add more visual interest. If you prefer a more structured design, arrange the branches in a geometric pattern or create a framed piece by attaching them to a wooden backing.
