Spread the Lovely Idea :)
Glue another short stick to the free end of the long stick, then get the right angle as much as possible and glue the remaining long stick between the two short sticks.
Now you have to decide what, if any, motif you want on the side of the . I used this asymmetric square pattern because I liked the way it looks- anything within the bounds of reason that you can construct with a glue gun and bamboo skewers, go for it. I will provide instructions on how to construct this motif which can be generalised to many rectilinear patterns.
I was intending for the small rectangle in the middle of the motif to be square, but screwed up my measurements, and by complete chance it ended up having the same aspect ratio as the side which actually looks much better. The exact lengths are unimportant but I will assume you have “short motif sticks” and “long motif sticks”.
Measure one short motif stick length from one long side of the frame, at the top and bottom.
Glue a long motif stick to one of the points you just marked, along the line connecting the two points.
Essentially, repeat the process at 90 degrees to the first stick- measure away from one edge with sticks of one length and glue a stick of the other length along the line.
Repeat for the remaining sticks, gluing all the points they meet at. Now you should have a glued-up frame. Admire its spindly beauty.
