Great Project for Father's Day : June 17th

SUGGESTED SUPPLIES:
TWIGS, SCISSORS, FALLEN LEAVES, LEFT OVER CONSTRUCTION PAPER, YARN, BOTTLE CAPS, GLUE AND A PIECE OF CARDBOARD.

ADULT SUPERVISION NECESSARY:
IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE AN ADULT HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROJECTS, EXPECIALLY THE FIRST TIME YOU TRY OUT A NEW PROJECT.

 
THE PICTURE FRAME

I LOVE HANDMADE GIFTS AND YOU CAN USE ITEMS FROM AROUND THE HOUSE AND YARD FOR THIS ONE!

 
THE DETAILS

WHERE DO I START?
FIND A PICTURE THAT CAN BE GLUED OR TAPED INTO YOUR HANDMADE FRAME.

YOU'LL NEED CARDBOARD OR A MATERIAL WITH SOME STRENGTH FOR THE FRAME.

FIND ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE TO DECORATE WITH.

YOU WILL NEED A RULER, SCISSOR, GLUE, AND TAPE TO PUT THINGS TOGETHER.


 
A LITTLE HELP

WHEN CUTTING THE CARDBOARD, USE A LARGE ENOUGH PIECE TO ALLOW FOR A BOARDER FOR DECORATIONS.

WHEN YOU CUT THE WHOLE IN THE FRAME, WHERE THE PICTURE GOES, MAKE THE OPENING SMALLER THAN THE PICTURE SO THE PICTURE DOESNT PUSH THROUGH THE OPENING.

I LIKE TO USE TAPE TO ATTACH THE PICTURE TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE CARDBOARD.

ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME FOR THE GLUE TO DRY OR YOUR DECORATIONS MAY SHIFT.
THERE ARE LOTS OF TYPES OF GLUE. I ALWAYS HAVE "ELMER'S" AND "TACKY" GLUE AROUND FOR PROJECTS.
A GLUE GUN CAN IS ANOTHER GREAT OPTION.

YOU CAN TAPE/GLUE YARN ON FOR A WAY TO HANG YOUR FRAME OR YOU CAN POKE HOLES IN THE CARDBOARD AND TIE THE YARN THROUGH THE HOLES. YOU CAN ALSO USE WIRE OR RIBBON.
