Why

Need a gift for someone who loves golf? Receiving this picture frame and pencil holder will be as satisfying as scoring a few birdies and eagles!

Steps

1. Find out about the game of golf. Why do so many people play it? Here's how to make a great gift for someone who enjoys golfing.
2. With white Crayola® Model Magic®, form a large flat circle into a golf ball-shaped picture frame. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out the center of the ball to make room for a photograph. Use the tip of a Crayola Paint Brush to push indentations into the golf ball. Dry.
3. Cover your art area with recycled newspaper. Cut a cardboard paper towel tube in half for a golf bag pencil holder. Paint it with Crayola Washable Kid's Paint and Paint Brushes. Paint flat cardboard green to resemble grass. Dry. Repaint to get intense colors. Dry.
4. Use Crayola Washable Super Tips Fine Line Markers to sketch pockets on the golf bag pencil holder.
5. With Crayola School Glue, attach the picture frame and pencil holder to the grassy base. Use your imagination to personalize your gift with phrases such as World's Greatest Golfer or the recipient's name.

Safety Guidelines

Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, and Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough—

Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
Unless sealed with a water-resistant glaze, do not make projects exposed to or immersed in water, such as boats or outdoor bird feeders. They would disintegrate when exposed to moisture.
Crayola Dough—contains gluten (wheat flour) as an ingredient.
Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Crayola Model Magic and Model Magic Fusion are gluten-free. However, they are produced on the same machinery as Crayola Dough which does contain gluten. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.
