The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

Instructions:
Cut 2 piece of construction paper into squares that will fit into the cd case. Cut a square out of the center of each square. Glue a photo into each hole (figure 1).

Put a dab of glue in each corner of your squares, on the sides that the picture is facing out. Open the cd cases and stick your squares on the inside of each cd case cover. Close the cd cases. Glue the top edges of the cd cases together (figure 2).

You can decorate the completed standing frame if you like. You can add stickers, ribbon, lace around the edges, glitter, etc.
