Night-Owl Frame
Personalize a picture frame to match the season. Turn ordinary plastic frames into fabulous gifts or family treasures!
1. Decorated pictures frames make great gifts. They’re a good way to decorate any room, too. What is your favorite animal, pet, vacation spot, or other topic? If you’re making this frame for a gift, choose something that fits that person.
2. On a plain plastic box picture frame, sketch and color your design, such as this owl, with Crayola Washable Window Markers. You can personalize the frame using a name or a greeting, such as LOVE YOU!
3. Here are a few decorating tips: Create a textured wood look by drawing swirls to resemble wood. Draw feathers or fur by making small zigzags. Remember, if you change your mind, all you do is wipe off your design with a damp paper towel, air-dry the frame, and you are ready to begin again!
4. Insert a photograph or colored construction paper inside your frame. See how different background colors accentuate your frame art. Black is shown here because this is a night scene showing an owl in its habitat. Isn’t it dramatic?
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.
Mirrors, Picture Frames, and Plant Pots—Close adult supervision is required when children use craft materials that could shatter or break. Handheld mirrors, picture frames with glass, ceramic pots, and similar breakable items may be used only by children 8 years and older. For children 7 years and younger, use unbreakable materials such as wood or sturdy plastic picture frames, unbreakable mirrors, and plant pots that will not shatter into sharp edges.
