Did you know that you can DIY these twig accessories? They can be made easily with just a few materials, making them a great accessory for DIY beginners like brides◎ Now, let me introduce how to make twig accessories＊

[Bride DIY] How to Make Twig Accessories – What You Need

To make twig accessories, you need four items＊

① Wire ⇒ Craft wire with a diameter of 0.4mm to 0.3mm is recommended◎ Many brides choose gold or silver colors for this＊

➡ Check craft wire＊

② Beads or Pearls ⇒ These are the flowers of the twig accessories＊ Choose shiny beads or pearls◎ It’s good to check the size of the holes to ensure that the wire passes through easily before purchasing.

➡ Check for discounted bead and pearl sets＊

③ Nippers

④ Pliers

You only need these four items＊ Many brides have managed to gather everything from craft stores for around 1500 to 3000 yen◎ It’s nice that you can do it affordably♡

Now, let’s move on to how to make them♩

[Bride DIY] How to Make Twig Accessories

First, let’s create the tip part of the twig accessories＊

Start by folding the wire in half, threading a pearl through it, and twisting it in the middle.

If the twisted part is long, the decorations will be spaced out, while a shorter twist creates a denser design.

Once you've twisted it to your desired length, thread another pearl onto one side of the wire and twist it again for your preferred amount.

By repeating this, you will create a tip part that looks like branches with several connected pearls♡

Leave at least 3cm of wire at the end＊

Continue making more of these tip parts. The larger the twig accessory, the more parts you will need.

Keep twisting away! (I twisted too much and ended up with sore fingers...!)

Also, be careful as the wire can break if twisted too many times, so try to get the positioning right on the first try◎

Once you've created as many tip parts as you need, twist the remaining sections of each wire together to connect them◎

This will create a single line that is thicker in the middle.

When you reach your desired shape and size, you can finish it off by making loops at the ends to pin them or by adding a comb＊

Instead of making a large clump, attaching U-pins to each twig and creating several pieces is also a great idea.

Twig accessories are surprisingly easy to make♡ It's amazing that such cute twig accessories can be created so simply.
