Popsicle Stick Picture Frames

It’s just as it sounds: popsicle sticks turned into the most adorable picture frames. This was such a fun afternoon craft to do with my littles and they loved getting to choose all of the colors for their frames and do 99% of the work. This would be a great project for gifts for grandparents for Valentine’s Day! A sure fire way to bring a smile to your loved one’s faces. The longest part of the project was letting the popsicle sticks dry, but the hands-on time was no more than 20 minutes! You can get as creative as you like with these: add magnets to the back, decorate with glitter or stickers, bejewel, or paint on the sticks. It’s a delightful opportunity to create something out of things sitting around your home. My favorite kind of craft!
