It’s simple, good-looking, and depending on the materials’ size, it can leave you with plenty of space for all of your photos. For this project, you need 1×4’s and chicken wire, but you will also need some DIY tools such as a drilling machine and paint if you want to give the wood another look.

You need terra cotta pots, clean craft brushes, gold leaf sheets, gold leaf size, and a gold leaf sealer for this project.
