Whimsical Woodland Weapons

Naama Agassi Turns Sticks into Swords With Her Imaginative Invention

— June 21, 2011 — Unique
This clever Naama Agassi creation makes fairytale forest fights a reality!

The device, dubbed the 'branch holder,' is simply a small band crafted out of flexible plastic. These plastic straps come in a variety of widths and colors for the choosing.

These simple straps snap onto small sticks or big branches and transform them into wooden swords. The strap clips onto the branch twice, creating a handle for easy maneuvering. These branch holders by Naama Agassi are perfect for rescuing damsels in distress or for defeating forest-dwelling dragons. They would suit any creative kids or even adventurous adults, making fun forest family time.

Turn your trash-bound twigs into knightly swords with the Naama Agassi branch holder.
