Instructions

- 1
  Select a tall vase to display curly willow branches and crystals; pick a clear glass vase so the colored crystals will show through. Go with a vintage-inspired cut crystal vase to create a romantic or elegant look, or a smooth, tulip-shaped vase for a clean, modern style.
- 2
  Fill 3/4 of the vase with crystal beads. Choose beads according to your decor theme or color scheme; create an icy, winter wonderland-inspired look using clear crystal beads or pick a mix of red, pink and clear crystal beads for a Valentine's Day arrangement. Decorate with green crystals to create a natural, garden-inspired decor piece.

  Place several 3-foot curly willow branches into the vase. Nestle the branches into the crystal beads to create a secure fit. Include faux-flower stems, such as roses or hydrangeas, to add an extra pop of color to the arrangement.

  Decorate your curly willow branches. Create a festive Easter arrangement by hanging pastel-hued egg-shaped ornaments from the branches; choose small red and green balls to create Christmas-dinner table decor; use craft wire to attach small bird figurines to branches for a spring- or summer-inspired arrangement; tie satin bows onto branches for a sweet, feminine look.
