Things to do:
1. For a 4×6 photo, use your paper cutter or scissors to cut two pieces of foam that measure 7 1/2 x 5 1/2″.

2. Take one piece of foam and measure a 1″ border from the edges. Mark with a pen or pencil.

3. Use your craft knife to cut along the marked lines using your ruler for a straight edge. Remove the center rectangle, leaving a 1″ frame.

4. Apply glue to 3 sides of the 1″ frame shape, leaving room for the photo to slide in.

5. Place the 1″ frame shape onto the other 7 1/2 x 5 1/2″ sheet of foam with the glue side facing down. Press down firmly, so the two piece stick together.

6. Flip the frame upside down and apply your magnetic strips. Place one across the top, and one across the bottom.
7. Use the foam shapes to decorate the photo frame. Kids love to pick the shapes and colors they want to decorate with. Once the frame is dry, slide a picture in and admire your work!
