smycka garden gate

just in time for summer. pete's new garden gate - built from ikea smycka dried plants. here's how:

build 2x4 frame. place a 1x1 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 1x2 strips through the twigs and into the 2x4 frame around the edges. hang and enjoy!
