2.  Sand the frame and paint with an undercoat. Once dry, apply two coats of black enamel paint, allowing it to dry between coats.

3.  Screw three cup hooks into each side, as shown, and then thread the wire across the frame to form a web pattern. Once you’re happy with your web, place air plants artistically across the web.
