7 Christmas Picture Frame Craft For Kids
7 Christmas Picture Frame Craft For Kids
Introduction
Christmas is a time for giving, and these craft ideas will give kids a chance to create something beautiful for the people they love. Kids can paint their own frame or use one from the dollar store, but any kind of picture frame will work. After painting or decorating the frames, attach ribbon or yarn for hanging them on the wall.
Reindeer frame
This is a relatively simple craft that’s also super adorable. You can use this frame to display a picture of your child and Santa Claus, or any other holiday-themed photo you have hanging around.
- Get a frame, some paper and scissors
- Cut out the reindeer’s head from the paper and glue it to the frame (you can also do this with glitter if you want)
- Glue down the rest of the paper on top of everything
Snowmen frame
Start by painting the frame white. Let dry completely. Using black paint, paint the top and bottom of the snowman’s hat. Add two black dots for eyes and a small smile using red paint to make sure he looks happy!
Let dry again then attach your paper decorations to decorate your frame! We used construction paper to create this look, but you could use anything you like including tissue paper or wrapping paper if you prefer something with texture!
Once everything is attached properly, it’s time for another layer of paint! Use white acrylic paint on all those hard edges so they don’t get worn over time from touching them too much (or maybe just because). We also added some glitter glue around where we had placed ribbon earlier so there wouldn’t be any problems when putting our final touches together later that evening…
Bells frame
You will need:
- frame (metal or wooden)
- gold or silver spray paint or glittery paint pens
- bells of various sizes (small, medium and large)
- glue gun (optional)
Santa Claus frame
- Use a black picture frame and paint it red and white.
- Print out the Santa Claus face template (you can find it here), cut out the template, then tape it to your picture frame as shown in the photo above.
- Cut out the Santa beard, mustache, and hat templates and tape them onto your picture frame as shown in this photo:
Christmas tree frame
To make a Christmas tree frame, you’ll need:
- A real Christmas tree (of course)
- A picture of your family or favorite holiday scene to frame
- Some fun paint in bright colors (red, green and gold are perfect)
Christmas wreath frame
- You’ll need:
- foam board or poster board (cut into a wreath shape)
- white chalkboard paint
- brown acrylic paint
- gold leaf pen, or gold glitter glue
- To make the frame:
- Trace around a round object that’s slightly larger than your frame onto the foam board and cut out the circle with an X-acto knife or craft blade. If you’re making a small picture frame for your child’s artwork, you can also use a glass bottle to trace around; just make sure it’s not too big for their artwork first! Make sure that this circle is centered on the foam core so you don’t waste any space when decorating later! 2) Paint white chalkboard paint over both sides of this piece so it will be ready to write on with chalk (or whatever else strikes your fancy!) 3) Spray paint one side of another section of foam core silver — again making sure there are no gaps between layers–and let dry completely overnight before continuing 4) Using acrylic paint and brushes, fill in any spaces left uncovered by spray painting 5). Decorate using gold leaf pen as well as any other materials you have lying around — glitter glue works great here because it doesn’t run like regular glitter might if applied directly from its container onto wet surfaces 6). Finish off by adding some pretty Christmas decorations like pine cones and lights 7). Display proudly in front of windows where light shines through most
Gingerbread house frame
- Use craft foam to make a gingerbread house
- Glue the pieces together using a glue gun
- Attach the picture frame to the back of your gingerbread house with hot glue
- Hot glue a ribbon on top of your gingerbread house frame and add a bow if desired
Kids can make these picture frames to give as gifts or use as decorations.
Kids can use these frames to give as gifts, or they can use them to decorate their rooms with pictures of friends and family.
For a fun activity, you could even have your kids make several frames in advance for Christmas presents.
