5kg Buff Willow Sticks (Withies)

Craft & Lantern Willow Withy Sticks are perfect for creating lanterns, sculptures, Christmas wreaths, and 3D craft projects. These strong yet flexible willow rods are a must-have for schools, artists, and community groups working on lantern parades or festive decorations.

Buff willow is smooth, sturdy, and easy to bend — ideal for building frameworks, wreath bases, or sculptural shapes. Simply secure with masking tape, florist wire or gaffer tape, then cover with wet strength tissue paper to create stunning illuminated designs.

• Length: Approximately 5ft–6ft (1.5–1.8m) per stick
• Bundle size: 5kg (around 250 withies per bundle)
• Thickness: Naturally tapered from around 1cm to a fine flexible tip
• Material: 100% natural buff willow

For even more flexibility, soak your willow overnight in water before shaping. A bathtub works well — or for a cleaner, more convenient option, use our reusable Willow Soaking Bag, specially designed for artists and parade makers.

🌿 All our willow is UK-grown and carefully prepared for use in creative, sculptural, and festive craft projects.

Perfect for: lantern parades, art workshops, community sculpture projects, and eco-friendly Christmas wreaths.
