Homemade Twig Chair

Whether you choose to build a single high-back chair, a lounge chair, a bench or an arbor with seating, a surplus of twigs and branches can be turned into a rustic focal point for your backyard, patio or garden. Willow is commonly used to make rustic furniture.

  1. Twig Chair

    • Build a twig chair using a combination of twigs, logs and branches. One idea is to build a frame and seat with a collection of thicker branches -- with a diameter of 2 to 3 inches. Create a thatched design for the chair's back with thin twigs. The twigs can be left as is or you can spray them with a bold color such as cherry red, cerulean blue or fuchsia to create a whimsical pop of color. Arrange the twigs into a pattern or affix them in a random order.

    Lounge Chair

    • Design a lounge chair as part of a rustic furniture collection or as a stand alone piece. Fashion the lounge chair after a one-piece lounger with room to kick your feet up. Use twigs and branches of varying sizes to create visual interest. Reserve the stronger pieces for the frame and the decorative pieces for the armrests. Use longer twigs to bend into a back for the chair. Another idea is to create a chair and ottoman combo lounge set. Add a long cushion to the chair in a bright pattern made of outdoor-friendly fabric.

    Bench

    • Add a bench made from twigs to your yard with a bent willow back. Whether you choose to create a bench with arms or without designs are available to help you use branches from your own garden. The bench can be tailored to accommodate as much or as little seating as you need for your particular space. Incorporate your favorite gnarly pieces in the design for the back of the bench or use the twisted pieces for arms. Line twigs up vertically or horizontally, depending on the size of the branches, for the seat and the backrest.

    Arbor Chair

    • An arbor with seating is a multifunctional focal point to add to your yard. Not only will it provide an area for climbers such as morning glory and clematis, it will also provide seating for two or more. Use planks of wood for the seat and a combination of branches and twigs for the backrest and the arbor posts. One idea is to create two bench-style arbors and build a gate between them. Face the benches inward, toward your garden to provide additional seating.
