Learn how to create a woodland inspired wood frame! You'll have people asking you where you bought this awesome piece of home decor and you can proudly say you made it. Not only that, but that you made it for under $5! Supplies: 
1. Go outside and have fun collecting small branches and twigs. It is good to have a variety in size because it creates more interest. Also, having different size pieces help fill in gaps when you are gluing the wood discs to the frame.
- Wood picture frame from Michaels $1.00 (this frame stands on its own so no need for a picture frame easel)
- Gorilla Wood Glue which runs between $3.00 & $4.00
- Saw: It could be small or large, it just needs to be able to cut through various sizes of twigs.
- Twigs and small branches
- Cute picture of your choice. (I of course, used one of my son)
1. Go outside and have fun collecting small branches and twigs. It is good to have a variety in size because it creates more interest. Also, having different size pieces help fill in gaps when you are gluing the wood discs to the frame.2. Saw the branches and twigs into little discs. This can be tedious and take a bit of time. But the end result is worth it! I used a larger saw for the thicker branches and a mini saw I found lying in my garage for the smaller pieces of wood. I can't really tell you how many wood discs you will need to cover the front of the frame. It depends on the size of the discs. My estimate would be about 50 pieces, give or take.
3. Lay on a thick coat of the Gorilla Wood Glue to the front of the wood frame and start adding the wood discs. Again, I made sure to add various sizes throughout to make sure that all the little gaps were filled.
4. Add a picture! The opening is square so I found a picture that I knew would look good even after I cut it to fit into the frame opening.
