As part of the Badger Day camp we will be taking a photo of them near the "campsite", it will then be printed and laminated ready for use later in the day. That is when we will be making Lolly stick photo frames to fix the picture to. This has the image that gave me the idea.
They are very simple to make, but I have had to do some of the early work by sticking them together as PVA kids glue isn't strong enough and I have had to use all purpose glue to do them.
You need:
8 natural lolly sticks for each frame
wood or all purpose glue (uhu)
4 clothes pegs
pens to write on the sticks
brown crayons to make look like wood
string to hang (optional)
1. Take the 8 lolly sticks, the glue and the pegs
2. Glue the first 4 together as shown and hold together with the pegs, you may need to squeeze them between fingers as well. allow to dry (about 10mins) the move on to next step.
4. Take the final 2 sticks and glue both ends off them and fix in place on the existing "frame" and hold in place with pegs. you now have your square "frame".
it doesn't matter if its not quite square as its meant to be like twigs.
Once its all dry you can decorate how you wish and add the photo to the back (stapler) and string to hang up.
