Making the Bug Box

Wire a rectangle from four willow twigs.

Make another panel exactly the same size as the first.

Separate the two panels with four short twigs and secure with wire to create a box

Make sure the box is perfectly balanced and can stand straight up.

Weave a few thinner hazel branches around the box structure to soften the lines and secure the structure.

As you weave, add a curved handle over the top of the bug box.

Decorate the structure with flowers, foliage or butterflies

Tie the rings to the box with a ribbon
