  • Cut a piece of ribbon about 1 ½ inches long. (You can use the plaid squares as a guide. Cut from the middle of a black square, skip one, then cut again in the middle of the third black square.)
    A pair of scissors is being used to cut a piece of plaid fabric.
  • Cut a piece of twine about 3 inches, then tie it around the middle of the ribbon to make a bow.

  • Glue the berry garland all around the front edge of the photo frame. Go over the garland with glue to secure where needed.

  • Break the floral stem berries into a few small bunches. Starting in the top corner of the frame, glue the berries, bells, and bow about halfway to the middle of the top and side of the frame.

Notes

  • Use the back of a paint brush to press the garland down while gluing.
  • If too much paint gets on the berries, you can remove it with a damp paper towel.
