Straw Frame

Materials:

• A frame that has the measurements of 3 ½” x 5 ½” for the photo and a ¾ inch frame around the outside. The frame should be flat. (I used one from the dollar store!)
• Gold and white patterned straws (polka dots, zig zags and wide stripes.) – or any pattern & color you love
• Glue gun
• Scissors

Directions:

• Remove the cardboard, paper and glass from the frame and set everything but the frame aside.
• Use the glue gun to apply 3 polka dot straws to the top of the frame. The left ends of the straw should line up with the left top edge of the frame.

• Use the scissors to cut the straws even with the right side of the frame. (5” long) Save the extra pieces of straw to use in step 6.
• Line up the zig zag straws on the right side of the frame under the polka dot straws. Secure these into place with the glue gun.

• Use the scissors to snip the zig zag straws in line with the bottom, right side. (6 inches long)
• Glue the wide striped straws to the left side of the frame and snip to fit the frame.

• Take the polka dot straw pieces and cut them to be 3 ½” long. Glue them to the bottom of the frame.
• Add the glass, your photo and the cardboard backing.

• Enjoy your straw frame!
