We got together to let the kids make some jewelry/treasure boxes out of popsicle sticks the other day. But before we could even get to the boxes our plans took a right turn and we ended up somewhere even better with these popsicle stick frames. 🙂
Popsicle Sticks + Washi Tape = True Love
supplies: [affiliate links included]
• regular or jumbo popsicle sticks
• glue
• magnets
• Freckled Fawn wood chips (discontinued) – craft stores have items similar to these
Where to buy Popsicle Sticks
Popsicle Sticks are so inexpensive you’ll want to make lots and lots of popsicle stick crafts. You can buy them at all craft stores. Joann, Michaels and Hobby Lobby. You can even pick them up at Target and Walmart usually. You can even buy them on amazon HERE and have them sent straight to your house.
Popsicle Stick Picture Frame
steps:
• roll out a strip of washi tape – sticky side up
• lay your popsicle stick on top and wrap the washi tape around the edges
• wrap as many sticks as you want depending on how big you want your frame
• take 2 plain sticks and put a line of glue down them
• lay your decorated sticks across them in the opposite direction
• glue a magnet on the top center of the back of your frame
• once dry, decorate! – we used wallet sized pictures we printed at Costco
• you can glue, tape or use a push pin to attach your pictures
• use tacky glue to attach some wood chips
here’s an even simpler version:
• decorate 4 sticks and glue them in a square fitting the picture you have
• glue or tape your picture to the back
• glue a magnet to the back
Hope you enjoy making them as much as we did!

These are precious. Pinning.

I love this so much!!! I've been wanting a reason to buy/use washi tape… and now I have one!
What a great idea! I will be doing this!
Thanks!

So cute!! What a great idea!! Love it!!
These are great. I love the series you guys are doing and love the frames. A great twist on the traditional camp craft. My daughter is going to love digging into mommy's washi tape to do this craft together!
Thanks!
These are cute. Going to make some to hang on my tree. I like that the kids can help.
I love this idea! I was wondering about how much tape did you use for each popsicle sticks? Thanks:)
Just about 5 or 6 inches… how ever long your popsicle sticks are.
Hi, what width size of washi tape did you use? do you know if there are washi tapes that are 3/4" wide – for jumbo popsicles that are 3/4" wide? Thanks!
There are a few different sizes that we used, but for the jumbo sticks, we did use tapes that were 3/4" wide. In the second image from the bottom, you can see the ones on the right are the larger size. Some of them were from freckledfawn.com
I love these so much! I'm having a "going washi tape crazy" kind of phase right now! I hope you don't mind, but I put this idea (link only) in a washi tape round up on my blog. You can check it out here: Lots of cute and easy washi tape crafts and ideas
These are adorable…do you remember where you found the wood grain washi tape? I looked on freckeled fawn but it wasn't there.
We did get that one from Freckled Fawn… looks like they are all out of it. Sorry. One more place you can check, maybe even for a similar tape, is cutetape.com. They have a large selection.
I love these!! Did you also put washi tapes on the back?
Just the front, since they're hanging up and you can't see the backs. 🙂
Do you do something special with the edges? I made one and now the tape is starting to peel off on the top/bottom of the sticks.
no.. just kind of wrapped it around the edges a bit. Then made sure to really make sure it was adhered. Some washi tapes are definitely better than other though. :/
it is awesome….. 🙂 i loved it a lot…!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I am linking this article and image to my Father’s Day DIY gifts round up posts, Hope it is ok 🙂
Such a cute and clever idea! I’ve been feeling weird about my photos on the fridge that aren’t framed, but now I know how to remedy that issue! 🙂
so glad you like it! 🙂
These are sooo cute.. Definitely doing these with my 4 years old.
So glad you like them! Hope you guys have fun making them. 🙂
I don’t use photos for this. I make a printer paper copy. That way you are not using regular photos. This is a craft that I have been doing for awhile, but I have been painting the craft sticks.
Definitely wanting to try this with washi tape!
Hi, these are super adorable. Old you mind if my daughter used these as a 4h project? Thanks!!
Of course not! Hope she enjoys making some. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your ideas …
Is cool and I am going to try it.
: ) Salina

Great tutorial and idea!! I included this post in a top 10 Father’s Day photo gift idea on my blog that links directly back to your post!
It’s amazing to pay a quick visit this site and reading the views of all mates on the topic
of this paragraph, while I am also eager of getting know-how.
I’ve made several crafts with popsicle sticks, it is also a nice idea to make frames out of it but it is for kids, i think.
its awesome i used it for mothers day
Fun activity for growing kids, thanks for sharing!
