Directions:

Begin by protecting your work area with newspaper. This project is done in two stages. First, you will need to glue two sticks together four times. Let dry. Then take the four sides to the frame and glue together by laying two sides on top of two sides laid vertically. After it dries let your child finish the project by painting the frame and decorating it with glitter, sequins, pom poms, feathers and buttons. Trim your photo to fit the frame and then glue it to the back edges of the frame.
Once dry, glue a small magnet to the back (recycled magnets work great for this). You can hang it on the refrigerator once the magnet dries.
