PAIR YOUR SCHOOL BUS FRAME CRAFT WITH —> Popsicle Stick Pencils & School Bus

How To Make A School Bus Picture Frame

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Craft Sticks {six per bus craft}
  • School Glue
  • Craft Paint {yellow}
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Craft Scissors
  • Cardstock Paper {gray and white}
  • Craft Markers
  • Large Rhinestones {2 per bus, red}
  • Printed 4×6″ Picture

PAIR YOUR FINISHED CRAFT WITH OUR —> Paper Plate School Bus

Directions:

  • First assemble the base of your school bus. You will need SIX jumbo popsicle sticks per craft. The best way I explain this step, is to make a fence but with a large gap in between. Please use my picture above for an example.
  • Once you have your piece assembled, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • While it’s drying, go ahead and cut out the embellishments from your cardstock paper to give your school bus piece that one-of-a-kind look. You will want TWO wheels and a small, rectangle license plate piece.
  • Go ahead and use a marker to write the year on the license plate piece.
  • When the craft stick piece is dry enough, squirt some paint on a paper plate.
  • Now paint your popsicle stick shape completely yellow.
  • To finish off the School Bus Photo Frame – trim down the printed first day of school picture and secure it in place, to the back of the frame opening.
  • Follow that up by gluing down the paper cutouts and rhinestone brake lights.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit {like adhesive magnets or string for hanging!}
  • Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
