Straw Frame

how to decorate a photo 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.
