Cardboard Petal Picture Frame
save
Total Time 1 to 2 hours
Ages school-age
This fanciful frame gets its flair from snips of painted cardboard tubes. To achieve our free-form look, we cut two petal sizes.
What you'll need
- Paintbrushes and acrylic paints
- Cardboard tubes (we used 4 toilet paper tubes, one per color)
- Scissors
- Picture frame
- Tacky glue
- Paper plate
How to make it
Paint the tubes and let them dry. Flatten them, then cut them into sections. Ours are two widths: 3/8 inches and 3/4 inches.
Remove the glass and any backing from the frame. Paint the frame, if desired, and let it dry.
Squeeze glue onto a paper plate. Arrange the petals on the frame in a design you like. Remove them one at a time and lightly dip one edge into the glue, then press it onto the frame. Let the glue dry.
