- Go on a Nature walk, and while
exploring the trees in your area,
collect a handful of small twigs and
branches.
- On what day did God make trees?
- Why are trees important to sustain
life? - What trees are in our area (state,
city, and even our yard?) - How can we take care of the trees,
and be responsible with what God
has given us?
| Step 1 Choose twenty of your best twigs. Break ten of them to a larger size, and ten of them to a smaller size. (You don't have to use this many sticks, ours were pretty thin, so we needed a few) |
| Step 2 Take 5 short sticks, and 5 long sticks. Bundle them together, create an "X" and tie your frame together with the yarn. Tuck the end of the yarn piece into the bundle. |
| Step 3 With the other 5 long sticks, create an "X" at the other end of the small sticks. (see photo) Do your best to keep them straight and even, but don't worry to much about it because it looks better with that natural look. |
| Step 4 Finish off your frame by adding the last bundle of small sticks. Wiggle your frame around a bit, making sure it's secure, and kinda straight. |
| Step 5 After you create your frame, cut a piece of cardboard to fit as the back of the frame. If you like you can decorate the cardboard before you glue it on, or if you'd like to be able to change the artwork every now and then, leave it blank as a background. |
| Step 6 Using a Hot Glue Gun, mount the cardboard to the back of the picture frame at the four corners. We put the dabs of glue directly over the yarn, and it worked pretty well. |
| All Done! Add your artwork to the frame. You can slide it in the top, or even glue it directly to the cardboard. |
