apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Materials:
• Cylinder Vases (or other simple glass shapes)
• Scissors
• Branches
• Spray Paint and Drop-Cloth (if you're using dried branches)

Types of branches to use:
• Flowering Quince
• Flowering Forsythia
• Dried Branches Spray-Painted White

Step-by-Step:
• Cut branches 1/2" shorter than your vase (cut on an angle).
• If you're spray-painting branches, go outside to spray. Use a large drop cloth to avoid getting spray paint anywhere, and wear a mask to avoid inhaling any fumes.
• If you're using fresh-cut flowering branches, fill the vase with an inch of water and place branches inside. Use one branch for a minimalist look, or add more if you want to fill out the vase.
