  • 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!
  • Step 1Begin by giving your frame a coat of white paint. Allow to dry. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting.
  • Step 2Paint your frame with bright colours. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Attach two wiggle eyes to your frame. Add further detail to your robots face with a marker. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Add some sparkle to your robot with glitter paint. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Bend a chenille stem into an antenna shape and attach to the back of your frame with tape.
  • Step 6Cut two small prongs from foam and attach to each sode of your frame with glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 7Add a photo to your frame. We recommend photocopying your photo rather than cutting up an original. Place your frame onto your photo and trace the inner shape. Cut out your photo, leaving 1cm excess around the traced shape. Tape or glue it to the back of your frame.
