This is a fun and easy project to do with a small group
of children. Materials needed: Craftsticks
Directions: 1] Place the popsicle sticks in a square. (For this
project we will call the top stick #1 the right one #2 the bottom one #3 and
the left one #4 ) 2] Place the tip of #1 stick on top of the #2 and #4
stick and glue. Place the tip of the #3 stick on top of the #2 and #4 stick
and glue. You should now have a square picture frame. 3] You can at this point add another layer on to this
by repeating step #2 or you can decorate this with paints , glitter , crayons,
buttons, tin foil etc. 4] To add the hanger loop to your picture frame, cut
a piece of string 15cm long. Measure down the left and right side ( on the back
of the frame ) 2cm. Attach the string or wire with glue at the 2cm mark on both
sides. 5] Let the glue dry fully before moving it. 6] At this point you can add your favorite picture or
drawing. To add a picture : ~Make sure your picture is just a bit larger ,on all
sides ,than the inside of the frame. * ~Place the picture on the back side of the frame and
make sure that it is how you want it to look * ~Once you are happy with the way it looks and the
picture has been trimmed ( if needed) then it is time to glue it in place.
Using very little glue ,dab a small amount evenly around the frame on the
back side. * ~Place the picture right side up on a flat surface,
then place the frame (glue side down) on the picture, making sure it is positioned
correctly before pressing gently. You now have an inexpensive, original picture frame
:) You can make a bigger frame using tongue depressors or longer crafting sticks. This project is also an inexpensive gift for a child
to make and give to a loved one, any time of the year. Popsicle Stick Craft Frame
