just in time for summer. pete’s new garden gate – built from ikea smycka dried plants. here’s how:
build 2×4 frame. place a 1×1 strip around the edge to keep the ends of twigs in place.
cut twigs to appropriate length (my gate was just under 2 foot and i could get 3 lengths out of each twig). use glue gun to attach twigs to frame. place twigs in 2-3 layer to make the gate opaque.
screw 1×2 strips through the twigs and into the 2×4 frame around the edges. hang and enjoy!
