Looking for some spring decor to craft for your home? These DIY pussy willow branches are simple in their design but quite striking once you arrange a few of them in a vase to display. Plus they are easy to make! 

Since we are combining roving wool with cotton spun paper eggs, there is no template to cut for this project. Just gather your tools and materials below, then follow our 8-step tutorial.

Branch out this spring

Unlike the other branches we have made for spring, our DIY pussy willow branches do not have any paper blooms on them. You could always add little flower buds on your branches if you would like, but we prefer to keep ours simple. If you are joining our Member Make workshop this month, we will be using three of these branches to make a spring wreath with small blossoms.

Skill level: Beginner. This is an easy project, but it can be time-consuming depending on how many pussy willow branches you want to make (each branch takes about an hour to craft).

Crafting tips: When wrapping your cotton spun eggs, it’s okay if the egg is still visible. You just need enough wool to make it look fuzzy! Also, your branches can vary in length — we varied ours between 12–18 inches. And you can use however many eggs you want per branch. For reference, we used between 10 and 15 eggs per 18-inch stem.

Instructions for DIY Pussy Willow Branches

  1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the tutorial below.
  2. Apply some tacky glue to a cotton spun egg.
  3. Wrap a small amount of roving wool around the egg, just enough to make it fuzzy; then roll the egg in the palm of your hand to smooth the wool. 
  4. Use hot glue to attach a 2-inch piece of bind wire to the base of each egg.
