How to Make Twig Furniture

Find and Cut Your Twigs to Size

• 1

  Check your yard or travel to a wooded area for twigs.

• 2

  Use your branch cutters or a saw to cut the twigs to the appropriate lengths.

Make One Side of the Twig Table Frame

• 3

  Pre-drill holes in the cut ends of all 8 side pieces. This will be 16 pre-drilled holes in all.

• 4

  Pre-drill all four table legs 2 inches from the top.

• 5

  Pre-drill all four table legs 2 inches up from the bottom.

• 6

  Align the pre-drilled holes in one leg with one side piece and screw together using the drill.

• 7

  Screw another leg into the other end of the side piece you just attached a leg to.

• 8

  Screw a lower side piece into place on the frame piece you just assembled. This gives you one side of the table.

Make the Second Frame

• 9

  Select one of the unused legs and screw it onto both a top and bottom side piece as you did with the first frame piece.

• 10

  Screw the remaining unused leg to the top and bottom side pieces. This completes the second half of the frame.

Attach the Frames to Each Other

• 11

  Screw the remaining top and bottom side pieces onto one of your pre-made frames at the pre-drilled places.

• 12

  Align the second frame with the ends of the unattached top and bottom side pieces and screw together.

Attach Leg Braces

• 13

  Cut four of your remaining twigs so that they fit in the diagonal between the bottom leg ans the bottom shelf side.

• 14

  Trim the ends on a diagonal and screw in. This adds necessary stability.

Create the Top and Shelf

• 15

  Cut twigs from the extra bundle slightly longer than the table frame top and shelf

• 16

  Attach these using small nails to create the table top and lower shelf.
