Turn Branches into Cool Starburst

Starburst Made from Branches

I have empty wall and though that I should do something for my wall. Something big. If I purchase a big wall décor, it gonna cost me a lot. Then I started to think what material that I can use which doesn’t make me have to spend a lot. 

Branches!!!

The moment I realise branches can be a cool option, I started to collected good shape branches. 

I went to road side near to Publika to collect some branches. But you know, mosquitoes almost killed me there. Hahahaha.... But it doesn’t diminish my excitement to start the project. This time, I want to show you how I decorate my empty wall with big starburst made from branches.
