Popsicle Picture Frames

You can make lots of things out of Popsicle sticks, also called craft sticks. You can get a whole box of them at a craft store, or recycle them from frozen treats.

These frames make great presents for grandparents, parents, teachers and everyone else, too!

Materials:

4 Popsicle sticks
Paint or markers
Stickers, glitter, buttons, beads or other embellishments
A picture - it can be a photo, a drawing or something cut out of a magazine
Scissors

Instructions:

Decorate the sticks with the paint and/or markers, or leave them as plain wood.
Glue the sticks into a square to make a frame. Let it dry.
Add glitter, stickers or write a message on the sticks.
Glue the frame onto the picture.
Trim any extra picture with the scissors.

Other Ideas:

Glue a loop of ribbon, string or yarn to the back of the frame if you want to hang it.
Glue a magnet onto the back of the frame and use it on the refrigerator or any other metal surface.
Instead of a picture you could frame your favorite saying, words to a song or even a poem.
Use more or less than 4 sticks and make other shapes.
Use sticks you find outside.
Recycle old holiday cards to make great ornaments.
