Places to look for a branch like this - Hi there, I've been wanting to use a branch as a curtain rod for a while. I was surprised i wasn't the only! (Beautiful job btw)...but i cant seem to find, i've done all kinds of store, the forest etc...where did you find this? and if you did find it in the forest, is there anything you did to the branch to make sure there are no bugs in there? »

13. A branch can serve as an interesting curtain rod.

added by Lily Gahagan to Best Ways with Branches

An attractive long fallen limb can get a new lease on life as a curtain rod. In this example sheer panels hang from the branch, and a swath of fabric is swept around to form a decorative valance.

Tree branch curtain rod. Bring home a branch from the woods and hang a curtain on it. Utilizing nature can help you save money and add a rustic element to ground your room. Style tip: Spray paint the branch in a coordinating or contrasting color for extra flair.
