Glue gun gripes: hot melt failed on dollar store frames

I tried framing some pressed flowers with those $1.25 wooden frames and a basic hot glue stick, but the flowers kept slipping off after about 2 hours. Turns out the glue needs a rough surface, so I sanded the frame lightly and it held up fine, but that extra step cost me a whole afternoon. Has anyone else dealt with dollar store frames being too slick for standard crafts?
