- Go ahead and glue it to the bottom of your popsicle stick piece.

- Trim it down to fit inside the popsicle stick piece.
- Glue it to the back of your piece.
- To finish off the Craft Stick Fall Tree Photo Frame – add your various leaf stickers {and other embellishments} around the edge of the popsicle stick design. Make sure you don’t cover up the face in your picture.
