Picture Frame Project

This weekend I worked on a little project I had wanted to try. I used a basic, inexpensive 5 by 7 frame.
 
Using ribbons I already had on hand in my craft room, I chose three that I thought would work together. First I made a simple bow from this wired pinecone ribbon. I cinched the middle with a thin wire.

 
My next step was to make and stack these two bows. The meshy gold bow and the small ecru and gold bow were wired together.

 
Once I stacked the three with my handy hot glue, I clamped them until they dried.

 
The last step was to attach this bow to the top of the frame. It needed something in the middle, so I added a sprig of faux pine.
 
It did not take very long to put it all together and don't you think it could be adapted for any holiday?
