Painting in eco style

Now crafts from natural material are in incredible demand in the needlework market. Ecostyle can be found anywhere: at exhibitions, in offices, in residential premises. So why not keep up with the current fashion? Today you will learn how to make a beautiful picture of natural materials in an unusual frame.

For work, collect the following materials:

• 4 sticks from tree branches (length 15-25 cm);
  
• 1 floristic wire;
  
• nippers;
  
• pliers;
  
• scissors;
  
• twine;
  
• thermal gun;
  
• juniper branches;
  
• panicles of reeds;
  
• just beautiful twigs;
  
• acorns;
  
• Pine cones.

The frame for the picture can be made from branches of any tree. To make it, prepare 4 sticks up to 25 cm long and 1 floristic wire.

Using wire cutters, divide the wire into 4 equal parts.
Lay out the sticks as shown in the photo (to get a rectangular frame).

Connect the ends of the branches at the points of contact with pieces of wire. For more reliable fixation of the structure, use pliers.

Here is a framework you should get. All sticks are securely fastened together.

Now you need to hide the wire. To do this, take the twine and randomly wrap it at the junction of the twigs.

Twine is also needed to create the foundation. Take the thread and bind it between the vertical sticks.

Then stretch the twine between the horizontal branches.
The foundation is ready!

It was the turn of natural material. Juniper branches with fruits, dry panicles of reeds, large acorns and pine cones will look very beautiful.

On the diagonal of the frame, insert a whisk of reeds. Weave it between the warp threads. Glue juniper twigs to the sides of the panicle. Use a heat gun with silicone at this stage.

Fix with a hot silicone twigs, bump. And in the corner, glue acorns and a hat.

Everything is ready. The picture in ecostyle turned out to be restrained, but at the same time very beautiful.

Tie a piece of twine to the top branch and hang your creation on a carnation.
