Starting with my first project:


Altered Tree Frame

I made an Altered Tree MDF frame, started with coating raw MDF tree frame using black acrylic paint, then hanged few charms and leaves here and there using bronze chain and jump rings, for leaves I used thread. To add beauty to the frame I stuck small flowers  with pearls in the center, also stuck more pearls around inner small frames.

Note: follow 2,3 and 4th steps again for the 4 sides  of the  box.
