Step 1
Create four 24″ x 60″ frames by connecting each corner with two 1 1/4″ long wood screws
Connect the frames together using the 2″ long hinges
*make sure that the frames are in a zigzag pattern
Drill three screws on the top and bottom of each frame leaving 1/4″ sticking out
Step 2
Attach the galvanized wire around the 3/4″ screws from top to bottom
on each of the three frames
*You will be attaching the branches to these wires
Paint the edges of the room divider with the Rustic Chalky Finish paint
*You can be messy with this color
When dry, rub wax over the Rustic paint
Paint the entire room divider in the Serene Chalky Finish and let dry
Step 3
Sand the edges of the room divider to expose the Rustic color underneath and to give the room divider a shabby chic/antique feel
Cut about 30 – 5″ long pieces of wire
Attach the branches to the wire that was stretched from the top to the bottom
of each frame of the divider
*Clip the branches that extend over the edges
Wrap the white Christmas tree lights around the branches and plug in!
