MATERIALS:

Twigs

cardboard or poster board

white glue

colored raffia (twine or string can be substituted)

scissors

PROJECT:

  1. Measure the photo. Measure and cut the board to the size of the photo.
  2. Collect twigs the size of the photo maybe a little longer. You will need three or four twigs for each side of the frame.
  3. Trim the twigs if needed with the scissors. Or get an adult to help you.
  4. Bundle three or four twigs and wrap the raffia around each end. Do this for all four sides of the frame.
  5. Glue the photo to the cardboard using a glue stick.
  6. Apply white glue to the bundled sticks and glue along one side of the photo. Glue the bundled twigs to the other sides. Allow to dry.
  7. Make a loop with any remaining raffia and glue it to the back of the cardboard. When that is dry, hang the photo.
