POPSICLE® STICK PICTURE FRAMES
Submitted by: Judith Walsh [Judith is an art educator from Mt. Zion Elementary in Suffolk, VA.]

Grade: K-8

Age: 5-14

Activity Summary:

Craft sticks and glue are all you need to create a unique picture frame.

What You Need:

9" x 12" white paper
popsicle® sticks
glue
crayons
scissors

What You Do:

I have my Talented Art students teach a lesson each March for Youth Art Month. This year my 4th grade student, Ryan Hecker, created a really neat plan. You make a picture frame on paper and then draw a picture inside of it. They really turned out very nicely!

Students need 8 popsicle® sticks, 2 for each side, then they will glue them to their paper in a square shape to create the frame. Next, they will draw a picture of their choice in the frame.
They may also color on the popsicle® sticks to color the frame.
When they have drawn their picture they will cut the excess away from around their picture frame and they have a complete picture in a frame!

It is so easy and the results are so neat! I hope you enjoy it!
