Giraffe Heart Frame

How cute is this giraffe? These frames can be decorated in a number of ways. Use the steps below as a decorative guide and mix up the techniques to create a unique combination of your own!

  • When working with photos, try photocopying your photos rather than cutting up an original!
  • Step 1Paint your frame with white paint. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting. Allow to dry.
  • Step 2Paint your frame with yellow paint. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Cut out small circles from foam and attach to the frame using glue for your Giraffe's spots. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Attach two yellow foam ears and two ossicones – these are the two growths that look like horns or antlers next to the ears.
  • Step 5Attach two wiggle eyes with glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6Insert your favourite photo into the frame to finish. Your Giraffe Heart Frame is now ready to display!
