once it’s dried, that brace stick will keep all of the others even and in place nice and solidly. This will be the back of your photo frame. Press the stick down onto your grid of seven base sticks, angling it diagonally so it braces all of your base sticks in place, lying across them from corner to corner. Apply hot glue all the way along its length. Use an eighth popsicle stick to attach all of the sticks in your base together like a brace. I lined them up carefully on a flat surface, making sure their ends were in line with each other as well, making an even square except for the rounded shapes the sticks’ ends make along the sides. I chose to make mine seven sticks high, laying them edge to edge horizontally as thought they’ve been stacked. Line up the popsicle sticks that will make the base or flat backing of your frame. I decided to go for a clearly homemade aesthetic that combines the slightly rustic wooden element of the popsicle sticks with kitschy bright colours and unconventional materials. Just in case you’d like to try out the way I actually succeeded in making a popsicle stick photo frame, here are the steps I took from start to finish! If you’re the kind of crafter who prefers video tutorials to written ones, you’ll find one of those at the end of this post too. Usually, I like to look up crafting tutorials that guide us through the steps for making something my kids will love, but lately I’ve been wondering whether I can’t make something that’s geared a little more towards the things that I like to make for myself using the same supplies! That’s how I found myself playing with a design for a popsicle stick photo frame. The marbling of the three colors help make these jars look antique.Working with popsicle sticks in crafting might sound like a ridiculously simple thing but, if you ask me, that’s all part of the charm! There’s something about making things with them that just feels so classic. I made them in various sizes to add some dimension. Make as many or as few of these jars as you would like. Add your photo and display your frosted mason jar photo frames around your home.Remove the dry jars from the cups and clean up the excess dried paint from the tops if needed.
Repeat for all jars then allow to dry overnight.Then turn the jar upside down on top of a disposable cup.You can also use the craft stick to help spread the paint to cover all areas.Keep turning and allowing the paint to marble until the entire jar is covered. Drip all three colors on the jars randomly. Then start dripping on your jars and turning them as you go.Stir well inside of a disposable cup with a craft stick.The instructions on the bottle say to mix 1 to 1 but I wanted a more transparent look to the jars so I used less paint. I mixed it 2 parts marbling medium to 1 part paint.
Mix the marbling medium with the frosted glass paint.
