Grab your glue gun and some popsicle sticks and come join me for a simple summer craft that everyone can make!
Growing up I went to our town’s recreation department summer camp. I have fond memories of crafting with friends. I am pretty sure I made a lot of popsicle stick creations. Picture frames were always my favorites.
Today I am going to show you a simple popsicle stick frame that you can make in minutes… or over the course of several hours, depending on how much your kiddos love crafting! This is a not a new craft…and definitely not one I originally came up with, but I think it is one that kids will have a lot of fun with because it is so open-ended.
Materials Needed:
- popsicle sticks (we used the colored fat ones)
- glue gun and glue sticks (I am too impatient to use Elmers glue)
- ribbon
- foam sticky sheets (for backing of frame)
- scissors
- jewels and any other embellishments
Once I was done, I cut a square the size of the frame from the foam sticky sheets. Then I printed off what I wanted to put in my frame, and added it onto the sticky side of the stick foam. Lastly, I adhered the sticky edges of the foam to the back of the popsicle stick frame.
Voila!
Such a simple, easy craft project, but so fun to create!
I used this idea to create myself my own little “mom goals” photo frame. It hangs in my kitchen so that I can see it often. When the summer began to get crazy and I felt like it was getting out of control, I sat down during naptime and prioritized life and set some summer goals for myself.
Have you set any summer goals for yourself yet?
It felt wonderful, so I definitely recommend it! Every time I see my little “mom goal” frame I am reminded to spend more time focusing on what I think is truly most important this summer!
What would you put on your “mom goal” list?
What embellishments would your kids add to their photo frames?
