By , About.com Guide

Kathryn submitted this project as part of this Make-It-Over craft challenge. She explains how her son made a frame using old puzzle pieces and craft sticks.

  • Age Guideline: 6 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 20 minutes (Does not include drying time)

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.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Glue the craft sticks together at the edges to make a frame. Glue the puzzle pieces around the craft stick frame. Trim the photo to the same size as the frame and then glue it to the back side of the frame. Finally, glue the pop tab to the back to use as a hanger.

From Sherri: If you want, you could paint the puzzle pieces before gluing them onto the frame. You can also try gluing magnets to the back of the picture.

I hope you enjoy this craft project. If you make this craft, make sure you send in a photo so it can be posted here. You can also get your own crafts published.
