CD Case Frame for Dad
Make Dad glad! Turn an old CD case into a bright and bold picture frame with a message.
1. Start with a clear plastic CD case with paper jackets and extra panels removed. Ask an adult to help you carefully remove the snap-in CD panel if you have one in your CD case.
2. Using Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils, trace each panel of the CD case on Crayola Color Surge paper to make 2 backgrounds for your photos.
3. Design each background with Crayola Color Surge Markers.
4. Gather photos. Use Crayola Scissors to trim photos to fit on each background. Attach photos to backgrounds with a Crayola Glue Stick.
5. Slide papers into case slots. Add small pieces of tape to keep in place.
6. Use Crayola Window Crayons to write a Father’s Day message and add a fun border to the front of each panel of your frame. The message can be wiped off with a damp paper towel and replaced with a new message as often as you like!
7. Stand frame on a desk, bed table, or shelf to surprise Dad.
8. To create a frame that hangs: If your CD case has small holes at one end where the snap-in CD panel attached, you can create a frame that hangs! Here’s how:
9. Arrange photos on backgrounds so they present vertically instead of horizontally.
10. Push the end of a fuzzy chenille stick through one hole in the CD case. Twist the end around the CD case.
11. String a few beads on the wire.
12. Push the other end of the chenille stick through the other hole and twist to make a hanger for your frame.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
