Those decorative sticks for decoration

Options
Can i make my own?

We have a large willow tree, and i was thinking I could use some of the branches, de-leaf them and dry them out, then spray them with gold paint.

Do you think this would work?

I need some decoration in a corner of a room, but didnt want to pay for these long sticks if i can make my own!
