You can just stack the twigs in a ladder configuration
Or lash the twigs with ripped flax (see Tutorial below)
The tiny little ladder will not bear any weight so I made a simple diagonal lashing-inspired knot.
Lashing is a great way to tie two sticks together that cross at an angle between 45 and 90 degrees. Start by crossing the sticks at a diagonal
Start lashing the two sticks together
Wrap the grass around the sticks three times and pull tight. Wrap the grass three time on the opposite diagonal
Cinch down the diagonal wrappings with three frapping turns
Tie off the grass to secure
Cut away the dangling grass pieces
