Supplies:

Steps:
- Using popsicle sticks and glue, make two frames. Lay them side by side.
- Lay the contact paper over both frames and cut enough to match the height and width of the frames.
- Fill half of your contact paper with things from nature – leaves, petals, grass, etc. Then fold the other side of the paper over and press firmly to create a closed square filled with your nature art! Cut off the excess paper.
- Cut a piece of yarn and tie or glue to one of the frames.
- Place your art between your two popsicle frames and glue them together.
