I started with this frame from Michael's.  I spray painted it white with Rustoleum 2x Flat White Paint.
 I was disappointed that there was only a piece of cardboard on the back of the frame.  This definitely made it harder to get a good stretching of the burlap.  I put a thin piece of batting under the burlap and hot glued the edges of the burlap to the back of the cardboard.
I used Tacky Glue to attach the twigs to the burlap.  I spread the glue on the twigs pretty heavily.
This is before the glue dried completely. 
 I used a heavy pan to hold the twigs in place to dry.
 I added a starfish to the top and was done.  (You can still see a little of the tacky glue.  It was still wet here, but did dry clear)
Thanks for your visit!  And Happy Holidays!
