Picture Frame Materials:

• large thick craft sticks
• glue
• glitter
• small beads or any small type of items to put on picture frame (such as something that sparkles or shines that can be glued on)
• glitter paint and
• paint brushes
• picture for frame
• magnet strips that can be cut to 1 inch for each frame to be made
• clear tape
• scissors

• Take 4 craft sticks and pick 1 or 2 colors of glitter paint to paint the craft sticks with. Let dry. Try to make the frame just a little but bigger than your picture. Be sure to check the picture to make sure is it going to fit right in the frame. If the frame is a little too big tape the picture onto construction paper and then put into the frame and tape the entire thing onto the back of the frame.
• After the four craft sticks are dry, glue them together to make a square or a rectangle to fit your picture. Glue the corners on the craft sticks to form the shape you want.
• After the craft sticks are together and dry start to glue on your decorations to your frame. Write something with a permanent marker onto the frame. One thing to definitely write on is is the year it was made, and Happy Mothers Day.
• After the decorations are put on, turn the frame over and glue your picture onto all the sides of the frame. Then at the top of your frame after the picture is completely dry glue on the back of the picture in the middle the 1 inch magnetic strip. This way it will stick on the refrigerator all the time as a decoration.
• This can also be done as a decoration for an ornament for the Christmas Tree. The only difference is to attach a string to the picture frame so it can be hung from a tree.

• Handprint: You will need at least 3 colors of tempera paint and black.
• White construction paper - brushes
