A little more about Rattan
Rattan is a type of vine-like palm that grows rapidly in the shape of a pole and can grow up to about one hundred feet. It looks a little like bamboo, however bamboo is hollow in the center, whereas rattan is solid. Rattan is considered one of the strongest wood materials. It also has the unique ability to be bent and curved, and can therefore take on many gorgeous shapes and forms, like the rattan clusters used in this Gold Bobby Pins with Rattan Tutorial. The rattan wood itself has a stunning array of brown and gold hues that brings a natural and tropical vibe not only to any room or outdoor space, but is now an inspiration for making our own accessories to wear and take with us wherever we go.
