If you do not want to make your own frame, you can buy unfinished wood frames from your local big box craft store. I used Valspar Satin Antique White paint to paint my project. I suggest 2-3 coats.
Instructions
-
Attach chicken wire to the back of the frame either using finishing nails or a staple gun.
-
Trim off excess wire, and hammer the edges into the frame (so it doesn't scrape your wall).
-
Using Antique White paint, paint the frame and chicken wire. Paint the clothespins as well.

paint the clothespins as well
