How To Make A Popsicle Stick Picture Frame

Materials Needed: 24 popsicle sticks, craft paint, craft glue, archival bag to protect picture, 3"x3" photo.

1) Paint your sticks with craft glue if they are not already painted.

2) Take 2 sticks and place them on a grid making sure that one in not higher than the other. Use the third stick to determine the distance between the sticks; you want to line the ends up with the outside edges of both sticks.

3) Remove the third stick and squeeze some glue on the two sticks.

4) Starting at the top glue about 11 sticks evenly onto the first 2 sticks.

5) Put your photo in an archival bag, (or clear plastic sleeve) and trim the sleeve around the photo.

6) Place some glue on the back of the photo sleeve, and center it on the frame.

7) Dab some glue on the ends of the second stick down.

8) Take a popsicle stick and place it on top.

9) Now do the same on the second stick from the bottom.

10) Take 2 sticks and line them up along the outside edges. Dab some glue beside the sticks as shown.

11) Take another 2 sticks and place them over the glue lining them up evenly with the two sticks along the outside edges. Once in place you can remove the 2 outside sticks.
