Materials You’ll Need

• 3 paper photo frames

Step-by-Step Guide

1. First Frame – Paper Straws

Start with your first paper frame. Take a few colorful paper straws and cut them to fit the borders of the frame. Glue them all around the edges to create a vibrant, playful border. This will give the frame a bold, 3D effect!

2. Second Frame – Paper Collage

For the second frame, take different colored paper and cut it into small pieces. Apply glue to the frame’s border and start sticking the paper pieces down like a collage. Mix up the colors and shapes to make it as fun and random as you like!

3. Third Frame – Rolled Paper Strips and Leaves

Now for the final frame! Cut strips of paper and roll them up tightly to create little coils. Glue these rolled strips along the borders of the frame, giving it a unique and textured look. To add a touch of nature, glue some leaves in between the rolled strips for extra decoration.

Final Decoration

Once all the frames are decorated, it’s time for the finishing touches! Add embellishments like foam stickers, buttons, or pom-poms to make each frame even more personalized. Be creative and have fun with it!
