To ensure the branches remain in place you'll need a way of holding them central in the vase.

First invert the plastic bottle in the vase, and draw a line around where it touches the neck.

Cut the end off the bottle and trim to fit the vase.

Pass the twigs through the neck of the bottle, and secure using florists wire.

Adjust the twigs to form a suitably creepy looking shape, using the wire to hold various twigs in place.

Place the assembly in the vase, and secure the bottle neck in the vase using tape.
