I’m excited to share this fun project with you today – Easy DIY Garden Decor Using Tree Branches. I love using natural elements like stones, logs, driftwood and branches as decor in my gardens. I’m lucky enough to have a hubby who is handy and likes to tinker around with these items and make cool things for my gardens.
It’s super cute, right. Unfortunately, it only lasted a few seasons. However, making me another branch chair is on his Honey Do List.
I asked hubs if he could make me some type of rustic ladder trellis to lean against the fence for vines to grow on. He said easy and got to work. First we decided how tall we wanted the ladder, and he pulled out two longer branches and cut them to around 6 1/2 feet. Next, he cut the rungs, or the cross pieces. Simply decide the width you want your ladder and go from there.

The finished product turned out so cute and was super easy to build. I love them – they are perfectly imperfect!
As a reminder of this project, here’s a Pin you can pin to one of your
DIY or gardening boards on Pinterest. Thanks for pinning!
The taller tree branch ladder has silver lace vine growing on it.
Here’s the other branch ladder used as part of a little vignette in the shade. It has a Cathedral Bells vine growing on it, which will probably never flower because I have it in too much shade.
And, a closeup. The brad nails really don’t even show.
I hope you enjoyed our Easy DIY Garden Decor Using Tree Branches project. Thanks a bunch for stopping by Gingham Gardens. Are you going to add this to your project list? It really is a very easy and fairly quick garden decor project that adds tons of character to your garden.
Since we have so many tree branches, limbs and sticks to work with, we’ve also made some other fun and projects: Festive DIY Projects Using Tree Branches and Logs and DIY Christmas Crafts Using Twigs.
