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