Step 6: If you want, add words to the frame: you can write any thing on the frame you want.

How to Make a Popsicle Stick Picture Frame

Step 1 .select a photograph (or draw a picture). If you are making this just for your self, a good idea is to use your own picture for it. Or, if it is being made for any other person, find a photo or draw a picture of something they like -- a pet, a favorite animal

Step 2: Obtain some craft or Popsicle sticks. You can look in dollar stores, craft stores or even collect your own from ice creams and ice desserts that use the same type of flat stick. If you plan to decorate the frame, buy decorating items while you are at the store or use what you have at home or in class already. Useful items include markers, colored puffballs, small

fake flowers, sequins or glitter, etc.

Step 3: trim the picture or make the frame to fit the picture. Start-ing with the back, you need to make the back as big as your pic-ture. If your picture is long, use more sticks. If it is short, you’ll want to use less.• Lay the number of sticks that you will need in astraight line.• Takeastickandlayitinacrossontopoftheothers.Use some glue to keep it in place. You may want to put another stick a bit lower on the frame.• Ifyouwanttomakeitabitmorefinished-looking,youcan lay more sticks on the other side.

Step 4: Glue or tape your picture to the frame.

Step 5: Glue four sticks down in an outer square framing your picture. Decorate this part with anything that takes your fancy. A suggestion is to glue four small fake roses or other small flowers around the border.

Can you see the stars in the velvet sky?See them watching us, you and I!The bear looked down and padded on and on …Hey there, bear! Look up and seeSee how the stars wink down at me!Why do you stare at the dark dark ground?The heavens are glittering all aroundThe bear looked down and padded on and on …Look up ! look up ! to the spar-kling skyOr the star will laugh as you pass them by...Splash, CRASH !! roly poly roly poly rolyinto the ditch the traveler went The bear looked up and shook his head‘There’s time’, he said “for looking at stars And the time to look at the road ahead”The man muttered And sputtered out of the ditch “If ever the stars were laugh-ingThey are laughing now,” he said.

Express yourselfBy Beenish Amjad
