Crafts Unleashed

Welcome to our 12 Days of Christmas Countdown! Every day for the next 12 days, we’ll highlight a craft product we love- and you’ll have a chance to win!

Here’s another one of our favorite kids crafts- paper mache frames! These 5X7 inch frames come in a package of 8- how handy (!)- and are ready for your imagination. You’ll get two each of a heart-, oval-, rectangle- and start-shaped openings. Paint them, collage on them, glitter them- the choice is yours!

These frames are so great, they are all ready for decorating fun!  Since they are all the same size they look great as a grouping on shelves or your desk.  Enter to win by leaving a comment on what ideas you have for these frames.

Here’s a quick project idea! You’ll need:

• paper mache frame
• gesso
• Stickles glitter glue in Frosted Lace
• Hot Glue Gun & Sticks
• Paintbrushes or Foam brushes
• Rhinestones

Remove the plastic frame insert and set aside. Prime your frame with 2 coats of Gesso, letting each coat dry thoroughly.  Open the tip of the Stickles and squeeze out onto a paper plate. Brush 1-2 coats of Stickles onto the frame, and let dry.

If you want to make this more kid-friendly, have them decorate the frame with foamie or feltie stickers instead of hot-gluing.

Using the hot glue gun, glue a border of rhinestones around the outside edge of the frame.  Re-insert the plastic covering and a picture- enjoy!

Congrats to yesterday’s winner Froggy, enjoy those twister beads!
