How to Make a Decorated Frame

By , About.com Guide

Jill shared ideas for making a special frame craft that makes a unique decoration or a fun gift.

Materials Needed:

  • Inexpensive Frame
  • Paint
  • Buttons
  • Glue
Instructions:
I bought some inexpensive wooden frames, took the glass out, and let my daughter paint them. After the paint dried, she glued buttons around the edge of the frame. Her school photo will go inside and voila - a great gift for 'Gramma and Poppa'.
