Popsicle stick frames are nothing new but adding some of the trendy embellishments from the scrapbooking aisle can spruce up this fun and super quick project.

Here's what you need:

• Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser or All Purpose Glue Dots®
• Ultra-Thin Glue Dots®
• Popsicle sticks- Woodies, loew-cornell Crafts
• Chipboard accents- Heidi Swapp project life value kit, American Crafts
• Word stickers- Now and Then collection, My Mind’s Eye
• Photo
• Paper
• Magnet strip- Michael’s Craft Store
• Scissors

Here's what you need:

Create the frame by adhering the ends of two sticks perpendicular to another two sticks with Glue Dots Advanced Strength adhesive or All Purpose Glue Dots. Repeat the process to create an approximately 4" x 4" frame.

Cut out a piece of scrap paper to go behind the frame. Crop the photo to fit perfectly inside the window of the frame. Adhere the photo to the paper using Ultra-Thin Glue Dots. Adhere the paper and photo to the back of the frame with Glue Dots Advanced Strength adhesive or All Purpose Glue Dots.

Decorate the front of the frame with chipboard accents and Glue Dots Advanced Strength adhesive or All Purpose Glue Dots. You can even set the embellishments on the table and have your little helpers finish decorating the frames.

Use Glue Dots Advanced Strength adhesive or All Purpose Glue Dots to add magnet strips on the back of the frame.

Wrap up your special gift and give it to mom (or grandma, aunt, cousin or big sister) on Mother’s Day.
