Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {nine per craft}

- White Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Red/Blue Puffy Paint
- Mini Clothespin {one per craft}
- Wallet Sized Printed Picture
- White Cardstock Paper
- Pencil Printable – on our landing page
- Crayons
Directions:
- For each “notebook paper craft frame” piece, you will need nine JUMBO popsicle sticks per picture frame.
- Lay out seven popsicle sticks {on your flat surface} next to each other, in a row.
- Now take the two remaining popsicle sticks and glue them the opposite direction to secure them like a fence and/or square shape.
- Next up – paint! Paint the newly made wood shape completely white.
- Now grab the puffy paint and several lines with the blue paint & one line with the red.
- Once done with the painting step, set it aside for a bit.
- While that is drying, go ahead and color/cut out one pencil design from the provided printable.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Back To School Picture Frame – hot glue the mini clothespin towards the top of the finished design. You will want the pinched end facing down.
- Follow that up by hot gluing on the pencil cutout as well.
- Let it all dry completely. Then add your picture and display proudly!
- You can either prop it against something, hot glue ribbon to the back OR add magnets so you can place it on the fridge.
