A Teacher Appreciation Mosaic Frame Made by An Eight Year Old!

Teacher Appreciation Frame

Sweet right? My daughter, who just turned eight yesterday, made this a few weeks ago for her teacher, with just a bit of help from mom. Simple decorated frames are a great way to present sentiments to a teacher or a loved one, and kids can really have fun decorating simple unfinished frames. Buttons, pompoms, pipe cleaners, shells, sticks, tissue paper, and just about anything you can think of can be used to create something original! And if your kids are old enough, so buy a tiny glue gun (not as dangerous as the big ones) and let them use it, it opens up so many more crafting possibilities!

You’ll Need:

  • unfinished easel back picture frame
  • silver spray paint or regular paint
  • glass mosaic tiles and pearls from a necklace
  • small hot glue gun

How about making this into a family crafting project? Decorate a whole bunch of frames in different sizes and fill them with photos of the wonderful things you’ve done this summer! All the best!

    Happy birthday to your daughter. She did a great job.
    You could use Paverpol as a glue instead of the hot glue gun. It would work for the beads and the glass tiles and its safer with kids (and you don’t have to wait for it to heat up or plug it in)
    I just put a picture up of a new flower I made on our facebook page, think you’ll like it.
