Recycled Box Picture Frame
Terri Bose is a mom and a stepmom. She is the creator of the kids' craft site www.makingfriends.com and the author of three children's craft books.
More recycled Valentine's Day Craft ideas are on line at http://www.makingfriends.com/recycle_valentines.htm Use any small box, like this Valentine candy box or a jewelry box. Makes a great gift for Mom or Grandma! You need:
- Small Box Top or Bottom
- Paint (Optional)
- Cord
- Photo
- Silk Flowers
- Low Temp Glue Gun or Tacky Glue & Clothes Pins
Instructions: Paint box if desired. We painted a small red valentine candy box with a pink paint marker so it wouldn't look so much like a Valentine box. Cut photo to fit inside the box. Glue a piece of cord to the back for a hanger. Glue flowers around the outside. If you are using tacky glue, you can use clothes pins to hold the flowers in place while they dry. Dear Reader: You can help us make this theme even better! All of our theme ideas have come from our imagination and from reader submissions.
