You can collect the
driftwood yourself or you can arrange a nice walk along a river or
somewhere "earthy". I basically got this idea walking along the river
with my dog and he kept bringing me sticks. Collect a lot (as straight
as possible but maybe with some quirks to them)
You need:
- 4 sticks of driftwood (whatever length depending on your picture
size. I like the frame to overlap a bit on the edges)
- 1 piece of cardboard
- 1 photo
- glue gun
- ball of leather cord
I glue the picture to the cardboard (with a glue stick...I don't know
if the hot glue would destroy it or not), and line the frame with the
driftwood. Then I just tie the corners together and after making sure
its the right size for the picture, I glue it on top of the photo. If
some edges stick out from it I just snip them off. Then you just glue
on a loop of string onto the back to hang it and voila! You have a cheap
frame that looks fun. You could even get really artsy and add bits off
moss or go for a "seaside" theme.
