Sand the edges of the room divider to expose the Rustic color underneath and to give the room divider a shabby chic/antique feel
Cut about 30 - 5" long pieces of wire
Attach the branches to the wire that was stretched from the top to the bottom
of each frame of the divider
*Clip the branches that extend over the edges
Wrap the white Christmas tree lights around the branches and plug it in!
