If we speak about spooky and creepy spaces, the first things that come to the mind are scary woods with old black trees, spooky creatures and monsters hiding behind the trees or in the thicket. Scary old trees with bent branches have always been associated with something frightening, and perhaps that’s why we often see them in horror movies and in Halloween decor. Old branches and twigs are great for styling a Halloween space as they are easy to get and you can apply them in a thousand of various ways. Interested? Let me share some advantages of branches and twigs to convince you.
What Are Branch Halloween Decor Advantages?
Branches and twigs are easy to get: go outside and pick some in the woods or in your garden or park. They are 100% eco-friendly and you can take as many as you need without paying a single dollar. Branches and twigs are perfect for styling both indoor and outdoor spaces for Halloween as they are considered almost classic decor suitable for every kind of style, and I would hardly name a space where they won’t look to the point. Branches and twigs are very versatile and you can use them throughout the whole space.
Indoor Branch Halloween Decor
Branches and twigs can be used to decorate throughout your home, and there are many ways to apply them to Halloween styling. Gather some branches, wash and dry them if you are going to paint them gold or black or just use them as they are for natural and rustic decor.
How To Make Branch Halloween Wreaths?
Make a cool wreath of twigs or branches or even driftwood. The idea is quite simple: take a form and attach branches or twigs using a hot glue gun or if you have branches, you can try to bend them into a wreath shape. You can also break the branches and make a cool wreath of only them gluing them to each other. Paint the final piece black to match the Halloween vibes.

How To Make Branch Halloween Trees?
A Halloween tree is a very popular decor idea and there are two ways to make one: take your regular Christmas tree and decorate it or make a branch arrangement and decorate it. Get some large branches, paint them black or skip the step and place them into a large vase or urn. I’d recommend to keep them in one place adding glue, foam or something else as branches will hold ornaments or decor. After finishing decorate the branches with ornaments, garlands, beads or whatever else you like.
