Indoor Trellis

Indoor Trellis

     Here's a nice looking trellis that you can use indoors or outdoors. It's one of those projects who's appearance will change depending on the sticks you collect for it. Let your imagination run wild and have fun.

Here is a list of the things you will need.

  • Small twigs about 1/4" in diameter and about 3 feet long.
  • Twine. I used waxed heavy thread and it worked great.
  • Pruning sheers

Be sure to have your parents help you with the cutting so you don't cut yourself!

First, lay out your twigs on the floor to get an idea of what your trellis will look like.
Start by tying the pieces together at the base and working your way up. Don't cut the pieces to length until everything is tied in place. You'll find that you need to move things around a little bit as your design progresses.
Tie a good strong knot at every place where the twigs cross each other.
Trim it to your final shape and you're ready to put it in a pot.
To make a bigger one for out doors just do the same thing only use bigger sticks and heavier twine.
These are always a nice gift to make for your parents. They'll be surprised at your creativity.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
