Personalized Back-to-School Frame

Now that the kids are back to school, have you thought about what you'll do with those first day of school photos? Here is a fast and easy frame project to preserve those memories.

I found some cheap wooden frames at Ikea and free downloadable back to school paper. Along with my free printable Star Wars Stickers, Mod Podge and paint, this turned into a really great keepsake for the year!

This tag from Trixie Scraps's back to school kit is a fun thing to add to the back of the frame to remember school details.

Here's what you need

• Wood Frame
• Paper
• Mod Podge
• Foam Brush
• Exacto Knife
• Paint
• Stickers or cut outs of things your kids enjoy.

Directions:

1. Paint the Mod Podge on the frame. Then lay the frame on the paper.
2. Make sure to smooth the wrinkles out of the paper.Trim with the knife.
3. Add stickers, buttons or whatever your kids are into.
4. To decorate the edges, put a little paint on the brush and tab around the edges to cover the remaining wood.

This took about 10 minutes to make and is a great project to do with your kids!
