Farmhouse Window - Dollar Tree DIY

I made this cute farmhouse window using only items from Dollar Tree. Find out how I did it!
To make this farmhouse window you will need:
- 6 picture frames, size 8x10"
- Garden edging
- Spray paint
- Gorilla Glue (or E6000)
- Drop cloth or old sheet
- Clamps
Most of these you can get from Dollar Tree. I already had the glue, paint, drop cloth and clamps on hand.
Step 1 - Paint
Lay out all the paint frames and the garden edging on the drop cloth or old sheet. Spray paint everything and leave it all to dry.
Step 2 - Glue and Clamp
After everything has dried, glue the frames together on the long sides. I clamped them together to hold them in place while drying. Let dry.
Step 3 - Glue on the edging
I glued the edging right to the front of my frames, but that's because I cut the stakes off the bottom of it that stick into the ground. I wish I would have left those on and glued them to the back of the frames to make it more sturdy. Live and learn.
Step 4 - Hang it
The last step is to hang your farmhouse window up! I added a wreath that I also made from Dollar Tree items.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Do you think this would hold up as a pretend trellis, against my garage?
How did you hang it on brick? Amazon does not have that edging. Should it be sprayed with acrylic?
How did you make the wreath? Styrofoam ring and fake moss?? How does it hold up in the rain?
