Popstick Photo Frame

Make your own photo frame using popsticks and chenille stems. Perfect as an ornament or to hang in the classroom!
  • Step 1Lay out four popsticks so that two are side-by-side on the left and two on the right. Place another popstick horizontally over the top of the ones you have positioned and adjust them, so they sit just under the ends of the top popstick as shown. Place another popstick in the same position, but at the bottom. Glue the top popsticks in place and allow to dry.
  • Step 2Thread a chenille stem under the thick side of the popstick frame and up through the centre hole. Align the ends, cross them over then twist them together at the back of the frame. Repeat for the other side.
  • Step 3Twist another two chenille stems around each other to create a candy cane stripped pattern. Join each end of your candy cane stem to the stems attached to the frame in the previous step to create a hanger.
  • Step 4Decorate your frame with markers. Print and cut out a photo so it measures approximately 8 x 12cm. Apply glue to the back of the popstick frame to secure your photo. Make sure your photo is the right way up first though! Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Your Popstick Photo Frame is now ready to display!
