Instructions:
Remove the frame from its glass and backing. Paint one coat of brown acrylic paint on the frame with the foam brush. Allow it to dry for one hour. While the paint is drying, trim the twigs with pruning shears about 1/4 inch longer than the length and width of the frame. Separate the trimmed twigs into two piles, one for width and one for length. Heat your glue gun. When the paint is dry, take a few of the larger twigs and set them on the length and width of the frame. Look for the spots where they touch the frame, and apply a small dab of hot glue to secure. Add twigs, little by little, overlapping them at the corners. Secure the twigs with a small dab of hot glue wherever they touch; sometimes it will be the actual frame, and other times it will be to another stick. Add the twigs evenly to the four sides as you work. The smaller twigs don't need to be glued if they fit snugly. When you can’t find an opening for another twig, the frame is done. Add decorative moss and flowers by securing them to the frame with hot glue.
