- Dad's Photo (for framing)
Directions
- First, decide on a photo of dad that you would like to frame. You may also pick a photo that captures a moment of you and dad together.
- Now, take two bunches of twigs. Each bunch should have at least a minimum of 6-7 twigs in it.
- One bunch should be 2- 3 inches longer than the length of the photo and the other bunch should be 2 inches longer than the width of the photo.
- Place the twigs in such a way that they neatly surround the photo on all its sides.
- Also, ensure that the twigs extend outward of the photo for about an inch on all the sides.
- Now, cut a string into four equal parts and tie the twigs at each corner with the help of it.
- Paste the photo onto the back of the twig frame. Generally, hot glue is more preferable as it will help to fix the picture better.
- Finally, make a small loop with the help of a string and glue it to the top batch of twigs, for hanging the photo.
