5kg Buff Willow Sticks (Withies) for Wreaths, Lanterns & Sculpture

Craft & Lantern Willow Withy Sticks are ideal for creating lanterns, sculptures, Christmas wreaths and 3D craft projects. This 5kg bundle supplies schools, artists and community groups with natural willow for lantern parades, workshops 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: 5kg (around 250 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. Our reusable Willow Soaking Bag provides a convenient way to prepare your withies.

Willow for Christmas Wreath Making

Planning a Christmas wreath-making workshop or several seasonal projects? This 5kg bundle provides buff willow withies for creating natural wreath bases. Decorate your frames with evergreen foliage, dried flowers, pine cones and ribbon. Leave some of the warm-toned willow visible for a rustic finish, or cover the frame for a fuller festive look.

The larger bundle suits shared supplies for craft groups, schools and community workshops. For a smaller quantity, choose our 2kg buff willow bundle.
