Burlap Ribbon – at least 5 inches wide

Twine

Sticks 5-7 inches long. I used driftwood that I found on a beach from one of my last summer’s camping trips.

Photos – I used wallet sized

Laminator – (optional)

Silk flowers, fake berries/greenery, or fall leaves

Glue gun

The first thing I did was tie the twine onto one of the driftwood sticks so the burlap photo frame could easily hang (on a command hook.) I wrapped the twine around one side, then did an anchor knot, and wrapped and tied the twine on the other side of the stick. I did use hot glue to re-enforce it in place.

Then I simply hot glued the burlap onto the stick. Then glue on the second stick on the bottom front. This will add weight to the frame so that it will hang even and straight.

While it’s not required for this project, a laminator is great for preserving the photos on this frame. If you don’t have one, you can get one for under $25 on Amazon.

Then I just simply hot glued the photos onto the burlap – I just used a small dot of glue in each corner of each photo.

I hot glued on some fake greenery/berries that I got at Michaels You can have fun with this part – you can use a variety of flowers or berries or leaves to match your home decor. Since it's fall time - go ahead and top it with some colorful fall leaves instead!
