Photo Frames from Ice Cream Sticks || Blog1

Popsicle stick frames are both fun and easy to make. They make great crafts for children to make, and to give away as gifts to friends, family members, and teachers. With a little bit of time and creativity, you can have your very own popsicle stick picture frame too.

Step 1: Making a Basic Frame

Find 4 popsicle sticks. You will need 1 stick for each side of the frame. If you'd like a thicker frame, glue 2 sticks together to make a wide popsicle stick.


Step 2: Glue 4 popsicle sticks together to make a square and wait until the glue dries

. Place 2 popsicle sticks down in front of you, vertically. Place a drop of glue onto the top and bottom of each stick. Lay 2 sticks across horizontally the vertical sticks to form a square.

• The best glue to use is hot glue, because it dries fast. You can also use school glue or wood glue instead, but it will take a few hours to dry.

Step 3: Paint and decorate your frame. 

Paint your frame using markers or acrylic paint. Let the frame dry, then decorate it further. You can write something on it, such as "Daddy and Me" or "I Love You Mommy." You can also glue things onto it, such as glitter, gemstones, or buttons. For more decorating ideas, click here.
