How to make a 'School Day Frame'

Here's how to make a 'School day frame' using nothing but things you find around the house! Enjoy!
Rating: Medium Hard
Parents help/supervision required

You Need:

  • School Photo
  • Wooden Yard Stick
  • Cardboard
  • Pencil, Crayon, Eraser, Pencil Sharpener or Other School Supplies
  • Tacky Glue
  • Matte Knife
  • Cardboard Easel


Instructions:

Most yardsticks are 1" wide. 1/2 inch has measurements, the other 1/2" has advertisements. We asked Dad to cut ours in half lengthwise to cut off the advertisements. He used a matte knife.

Our photo had a lot of empty space on both sides so we trimmed it to 4-1/2" wide. Most school class photos are 7"x5". If you photo is 7"x5", follow the measurements provided. Otherwise adjust measurements.

Cut a piece of cardboard 8"x6". Glue photo in the middle. Cut your ruler on the 8" line, 13" line, 21" line and 26" line. Discard the last 10" of the yardstick. Glue yardstick pieces around photo. Arrange school supplies and glue around frame. Add an easel. And you're done!!!

PS: If you think I should add an image of the finished product (tah-dah!), please let me know.
