Twig Watering Can Craft Tutorial
This truly cute twig watering can craft is easy to do and the supplies are free and can be found in your tool box. I use these tiny watering cans to decorate gift boxes and gift bags. But they could be great for napkin holders, too.
Materials
- Branch about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter with a smaller side limb
- Small, pliable, green twig
- Optional: fresh cut flowers or herbs
Tools
- Hand saw
- Pair of scissors
- Cordless drill with a few small drill bits
- Carpenter’s glue
- Tiny nail (less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) long)
Instructions
STEP 1: Using the hand saw for the larger branch and scissors for the green twig, cut as shown in Photo 1. The larger branch will become the watering can body, and the small green twig will become the handle.
STEP 2: Repeat Step 1 as many times as you like. Now, from your 1 inch (2.5 cm) branch, cut a few flat discs, one for each watering can you’ll be making. Each disc will sit on the end of a watering can spout to serve as the nozzle.
STEP 3: Clean up each small green twig. I removed all the buds and extra tiny branches.
STEP 4: Fit your cordless drill with a drill bit similar in size to your small green twig. Drill 2 holes on the back of your watering can body; one near the top entering at a diagonal angle, and a second one near the bottom going in straight.
STEP 5: Take your green pliable twig and insert the ends, along with a little dab of glue, into those 2 holes you just drilled. This will form your watering can handle.
STEP 6: Using a very small bit, drill a tiny hole into the spout end of your watering can.
STEP 7: Drill a hole through the center of each disc.
STEP 8: Finally, to create the watering can nozzle, take a tiny nail (less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) long) and press it through the disc and into the tiny hole you drilled into the spout end.
Notes
At this point, if you’re so inclined, you might like to drill a hole into the top of your watering can to accommodate a pretty flower or a sprig of fresh herbs. Isn’t that pretty? You have achieved Tiny Twig Watering Can magic! Enjoy!

Hang these up by your plants and then use white lights to make the water coming out of the “can.” This will be so cute.
It’s a cute idea but I’d be more likely to by it than to do it myself

I have a lot of twigs that I could use to make these cute crafts!

This is so cute! Looks simple enough to do too – just have to find twigs (which is hard around here since we don’t have “real” trees!) to make them with!
Amanda,
This is such a cheerful craft idea! Twigs are always all around us. Just cut carefully from a tree, you won’t hurt it. I use the dry branches that we can always find on trees around us.
Cute! I’ve never seen anything like this before.
Oh, that is so cute! Great idea!
What a wonderful craft! Looks so cute!
Cute Mother’s Day gift, spring project, the wood
watering can.
This would be perfect for an afternoon with my grandkids at my house! (I’m not much good at coming up with craft ideas on my own.)
This is a fun project to do with my 2 grandkids. They would enjoy searching in our woods for just the right size tree limbs to use. Instead of real flowers we can use small silk flowers we bought at the dollar store.
