Picture Frame

This sort of like a picture frame. Well, except you can't replace the picture. It stay there forever. I took a picture of my kids together recently and thought it will be a great idea to do this.

Materials need:

• 11 Ice cream sticks, 9 for the back and 2 for the front
• String
• Cardboard, size 9 x 8 cm for easy sticking
• Any Picture, size 8 x 5.5 cm (I prepare this for my son)
• Decorative items (we used punched out flowers)
• White glue to stick the ice cream sticks
• Normal glue to stick paper (we use stick glue)

How to do it:

1. Punch 2 holes on the cardboard.
2. Secure the string through the holes. (see picture below)
3. Spread white glue on ice cream stick and stick to the cardboard till all 9 ice cream sticks are stick together.
4. Spread white glue on the 2 remaining ice cream sticks.
5. Stick each on top and bottom of the 9 ice cream sticks making sure you have enough space for the picture.
6. Spread white glue on the back of the picture and stick it in between the 2 ice cream sticks.
7. Decorate the 'frame'.
8. Hang up your picture.

Note:

• You can choose not to use the cardboard backing. The picture frame will still join because of the 2 sticks in front. But make sure the glue is dried and the sticks are secured before hanging.
• You can use stickers to decorate the frame
