Example :
A Photo Fish Fun Frame
You’ll need :
*. A styrofoam tray
*. Coloured tissue paper
*. Any photograph
*. Glue stick
*. Varnish
Steps :
- Draw the fish on the tray and cut it out. The fish should be a little smaller than the photograph you want to frame.
- Cut different-coloured tissue paper into little pieces.
- Use a glue stick. Glue the pieces of tissue paper to the tray so that they overlap a little.
- Cover the fish cut out, which will serve as the frame’s stand.
- After you have covered the frame and the fish, varnish both.
- Let the pieces dry, then glue the fish cut out to the back and use it to hold up the frame.
- Attach the photo to the back of the frame with sellotape. Pretty fish, isn’t it?
