Collect The Required Materials

  1. Assemble The Willow Branches: Start by gathering all the willow branches but the users need to keep this thing in mind that if they trim the willow branches before their falling period then their willow branches won't be ductile enough to get transformed in making the furniture product.
  2. Use The Sharp Scissors: For making the frame of the furniture item the users need to trim the willow branches into the smaller pieces as required. The users need to cut the willow branches in the one trimming pattern in order to prevent them from cracking accordingly.
  3. Prepare The Sealing Material: If the users have an idea to create the furniture product that might contain gaps then they need to gather bundles of the small-sized willow twigs and trim them as per the requirement.
  4. Trim The Large Sized Willow Branches: Use the carpenters saw to cut the large-sized willow pieces that in later stage can be used in making the frame of the chair. In addition to this, the users need to use the sharp-edged knife to trim the edges of the willow pieces in order to prevent the ripping of the wood pieces.

Preparing The Chair

Once the one half of the frame is completed then the users need to follow the same procedure in making the other side of the frame.
  3. Affix The Crosspieces: Attach the 21 cm sized wooden pieces to the backside of the frame so that the chair will be able to stand strong on the flat ground.
