Decorate recycling dry branchesToday’s article focuses on the realization of various decorative objects made with wood in its natural state. We are going to achieve this by recycling dry branches and trunks.
The whimsical shapes of the wooden branches suggest multiple decorative objects. That is why the proposal here is to find different functions for the pieces of wood, respecting their appearance as much as possible. Do you dare to make decorative objects such as coat racks, candle holders and brackets for shelves with tree branches?
The return to nature is one of the main axes of current decoration. Minimalism has given way to simplicity as a trend in design and decoration. And simplicity raises the return of simple and natural things, including furniture and wooden objects without finishes that spoil their original appearance.
That is why these rustic style ideas call our attention so much. Some are simple ideas from people who love nature and easy DIY projects. But others are already sold by wood craftsmen, especially in online design stores.
Do you dare to create your own decorative objects with dry branches…? In most cases, it is about respecting the shape and texture, lightly polishing the chipped or scratchy areas. Then simply apply a matte varnish for a natural result.
Hangers with dry branches
They are essential elements at the entrance of the house, in the bathroom and in the bedrooms, but made with tree branches they take on a different dimension… The “Y” shaped branches can be nailed directly to the wall with nails, smoothing previously the face that will be in contact with the facing. They can also be nailed neatly to a plank of wood or scrap pallets. They must be pieces of dry branches strong enough to support the weight of, for example, a coat or a bag.

Shelves with brackets of dry branches
This is another use that can be given to dry branches of wood, and it is very original. Looking for a couple of strong branches in the shape of slingshots we can create perfect brackets to hold a modern wooden shelf painted in a contrasting tone. You simply have to screw the branch to the wall, and in turn, screw the shelf to the branch, with its very smooth and balanced ends to hold the plank level.

door handle
This rustic door handle is another good example of the singular use of the dry branch of a tree. In this case, a thicker branch has been chosen and cut lengthwise, leaving a branch protruding slightly from the front. With this idea a beautiful rustic door handle has been created.

Rustic candle holders
Candles are a decorative object that we already find it difficult to do without. But fashions come and go, and now they are, among others, rustic candle holders made with dry branches. The pine with its bark can be the ideal base for a set of candle holders of different sizes, while the well-polished olive branch can be the perfect base for a row of water candles.
