Materials

Blue Mother's Day Frame Printable
Two 6-inch paper plates
Recent photograph (or drawing)
Scissors
Glue
One yard of string, ribbon, or yarn
Hole punch

Tip: Kids can use crayons to add more color to white frames, but you can also buy paper plates in bright colors.

Directions

Step 1: Make the frame
Cut the center out of a 6-inch paper plate. Tape a photograph (or drawing) to the back of the plate cut-out. Glue another 6-inch paper plate to the back of the first paper plate, with the picture in between.
Step 2: Decorate the frame
Print and cut out the decorative borders and stickers. Glue the two pieces of the decorative border along the front rim of the paper plate. Glue the character stickers to the frame.
Step 3: Hang it up!
Punch a hole at the top of the finished frame. Cut a piece of ribbon for hanging the frame. Thread it through the hole, and knot the ends. Hang it up!

Tip: For a sturdier frame, layer two together.
