Things to do:
1. First, cut six popsicle sticks in half. If possible, round the edges.

3. Paint your last small popsicle stick and two full-sized popsicle sticks with red or green paint.
4. While your Mod Podge and paint are drying, cut a 1×1 inch square out of foam. Trim your photo down to fit on the foam and attach it with glue.


5. Now it’s time to assemble your sled. Apply a thin line of hot glue down the side to attach the five mini popsicle sticks.
6. Use glue to attach your painted popsicle sticks, creating a sled frame.


7. When the glue has dried, attach the smaller popsicle sticks to the top of the painted frame.

8. Use glue to attach the foam frame and photo.
