Picture Frame

Today we made picture frame ornaments with the 3rd graders.  First, I cut pieces of thin cardboard into square shapes.  Then, I cut tooling foil slightly larger than the cardboard squares. 

The kids folded their tooling foil around the cardboard.

Then, they used Crayola Dry Erase crayons and Sharpie markers to decorate the foil.  They left a rectangle in the middle where we will glue their class picture. 

We also used Deco Art puff paint for additional details.  A ribbon was hot glued on the back. 

Handmade ornament with colorful patterns, featuring a central reflective square and a red ribbon for hanging, resembling a mini picture frame.Colorful square mirror with a red ribbon handle, decorated with various patterns and bright colors.
