LET'S GET STARTED:
- Start by cutting out the frame from a piece of cardboard. Remember to make the middle opening of the frame a bit smaller than the picture you are framing. (For instance, if your picture is 8-1/2-inches x 11-inches you would want to make the opening 7-1/2-inches x 10-inches)
- Gather flower stems, twigs, etc. Arrange them on your frame in an appealing design.
- Glue each piece down and let dry.
- In well-ventilated area or outdoors, an adult may spray frame with fixative to preserve stems if you wish.
- Mount picture onto back of frame using masking tape.
- For an easy hanger, poke a hole with a nail at each corner near the top of the frame. Push a piece of twine through one hole and double knot on the front side. Determine how long you want your hanger to be then push twine through opposite corner and double knot.
