Craft: How to Make a Colorful Crayon Frame

by Katie on August 30th, 2018 | 6 Comments »

The new school year is coming quickly. Whether you're shouting from the rooftops or crying in your bowl of Ben & Jerry's, there's no better way to start off the year than to gift your child's teacher a sweet picture frame filled with a motivational print?

This colorful crayon picture frame may look complicated, but it's actually remarkably simple to create on your own. I promise!

How to Make a Colorful Crayon Frame

Materials:

Wood picture frame
2 boxes of crayons
Hot glue
Print

Directions:

Collect all of your materials and make sure the hot glue gun is heated up.
Carefully apply hot glue to the crayon. I made to sure to place glue on the name brand of each crayon so that they all faced the same direction and didn't look like I was promoting a name brand.
Press the crayons firmly on the frame until the glue has cooled and holds the crayons in place.
For the end pieces, cut the crayons with a sharp knife to the length you need before gluing to the frame.

Here are the prints that I've put together that will work perfectly for this frame!

Being a teacher for a handful of years before staying home with my kidlets, I can say that I would have loved to receive this from one of my new students on the first day of school!
