As a child, one of the Xmas decorations that got brought out ever year was a bare branch that had been spray painted a bronze color. It had been trimmed so it would hang with one side pretty much flat to the wall, with (I think) three points of contact. My Dad had put pucture frame doodads into the branch at those points, and there were picture hooks on the wall. When the season was over, there was a framed picture that hung from one hook, and which covered the others.
