Shiny Picture Present

Save empty cereal boxes! Recycle them to make super picture frames for yourself or as gifts.

1. Wondering how to show off school pictures, snapshots of your friends or family, or holiday photos? These easy frames make every photo—or your original drawings or paintings—look special.

2. Cut frames. Choose your favorite pictures. Cut a frame for each one from cereal boxes using Crayola Scissors. Attach each picture to the cardboard with a Crayola® Glue Stick.

3. Decorate your frames. Use Crayola Construction Paper Crayons to color an original design around your picture.

4. Shine the frames. With a paper towel, gently rub your colorful designs until they have a glossy shine.

5. Go 3-D. If you wish, use Crayola School Glue to attach broken crayon bits or any craft items to make a 3-D frame. Air-dry the glue. Now you’re ready to wrap or display your pictures.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"We made these picture frames right after breakfast. I cut out frames for younger children. The kids colored the inside of the boxes and enjoyed rubbing to make it shine. We glued magnets on the backs so families could hang them on their refrigerators."
Trinidad S., family child care provider.

"We are always looking for projects to make with recycled products. My children often make these picture frames as gifts for grandparents and to display their artwork."
Joanna M., homeschool parent of ages 6 and 9.
