Frabulous Frames

What can I do with ALL these popsicle sticks that were just going in the trash??

     {So many ice cream bar skeletons.    smh}

Why, make pop stick frames for presents, from PP and Jr, of course!!

So, I did my part by eating all those ice cream bars.    Then, it should be PP’s turn to wash them, right??     Remember the flood??        Yeah, maybe not the best idea…… Nope, the little red hen has to do it.     Boo hoo.

So that the glue wouldn’t stick, I covered a cookie sheet with tin foil.  

       What???    You taking precautions beforehand??     I’m shocked!         And, ahem, it’s actually aluminum foil now.    

“What”

 

“Ever”

Onto the actual project.     Or prep for the project.    Whichev.

• Lay out the pattern.      
• Dots of glue.    

• Lay more sticks on top.       

• Let dry.      (I’ll spare you the visual.    You’re welcome!)
• Turn over, add 4th sticks.   

OOPS! Ran outta sticks!   Back to the store for more i.c .b.         #Not even kidding.

 

(Frantically licking, as fast as I can.       Wash, and dry more sticks.)

• Let dry again
• Have PP paint them her choice of color.

      She even discovered that blue and red make purple!     It was so much fun to hear her exclaim “Pupeh???”      Then she looked at me in amazement.      Watching a child discover on their own is worth a million dollars to me!   Then, she figured out how to make her own “bwown.”       Never was I a prouder Omie!!

• Let dry again.
• Decorate, with sequins, stars, pom poms, whatever you have.

• • Add yarn, for hanger.

• Print out pix, while PP is decorating.   (Done.)
• Cut to fit.
• Glue, tape or photo dot in place.

Can’t show ya the girls, so enjoy looking at Bubba. He’s pretty cute, too.

• Wrap and give!

Frabulous  Frames!!      (You might want to buy the sticks, if you don’t wanna gain 10 15 lbs in the process!)

Some people in the family are gonna be thrilled with these under their tree!      Ssssshhh!!
