Craft & Lantern Willow Withy Sticks are ideal for creating lanterns, sculptures, Christmas wreaths and 3D craft projects. This 2kg bundle provides natural willow for artists, schools and craft groups working on creative projects and seasonal decorations.

Buff willow is smooth and sturdy, making it suitable for lantern frameworks, wreath bases and sculptural shapes. For lantern and sculpture projects, secure your framework with masking tape, florist wire or gaffer tape, then cover with wet strength tissue paper.

  • Length: Approximately 5ft–6ft (1.5–1.8m) per stick
  • Bundle size: 2kg (around 100 withies per bundle)
  • Thickness: Naturally tapered from around 1cm to a fine flexible tip
  • Material: 100% natural buff willow
  • Grown in: The UK – sustainably sourced
  • Ideal for: Lantern making, sculpture, 3D modelling and Christmas wreath crafting

For straight frameworks and gentle bends, the willow can be used without soaking. For tighter curves, circles and wreath bases, soak the rods before shaping and allow them to rest until pliable. Before bending your willow into curves or wreath bases, soak and allow it to rest until pliable. Preparation time varies with the rods and conditions, so prepare your willow ahead of your project. Our reusable Willow Soaking Bag provides a convenient way to prepare your withies.

Buff Willow for Christmas Wreath Making

Create a natural base for your Christmas wreath with these buff willow sticks. Decorate your willow frame with evergreen foliage, pine cones, dried orange slices and ribbon. Leave some of the warm-toned willow exposed for a rustic finish, or cover the frame for a fuller festive look.

Choose this 2kg bundle for smaller projects, or explore our 5kg buff willow bundle if you’re stocking up for a wreath-making group or workshop.

brilliant withies

I requested, 'if at all possible could I have skinny withies as these were for small children to have a go with', they are brilliantly slender, so...plan to try our hand at willow lanterns this weekend:) had to wait to construct as had to source tissue elsewhere as were out of stock here at Carnival Papers. The response to order and delivery were brilliant and timely.

Not quite as expected

The withies I received are thicker than shown in the picture, I think they have had their thin ends chopped off which is a shame as it was the thin ends I needed. So I have had to source willow from elsewhere, and I will have to use these for something else in the future. The delivery was really fast though.

Really pleased with the willow - just as described and at a good price.

This is the first time I've tried to buy willow as I was inspired to try making plant supports. Really pleased with these as they do exactly what I'm looking for. I may even be inspired to take up weaving!

Amazing value

The willow was exactly what I needed for my wreath project and after soaking for a couple of hours it yielded to being shaped into a circle. Thank you so much for such efficient service and an excellent product. I will buy again.
