After two weeks of complete relax, eating ice cream on the beach and collecting shells we are back with a seasonal craft idea. As you all know by now we don’t regard popsicle sticks as rubbish, on the contrary we think they are great for making things. For today’s craft we made a picture frame with ice lollies, vinyl glue, sand and shells.

To make this frame you need popsicle sticks of the same length, a piece of cardboard, glue, scissors, sand and shells.

1. Attach two sticks together applying glue along the side of the sticks and join together; repeat four times and leave to dry

2. Arrange the 4 double sticks in a square; apply glue on each corner and leave to dry until the frame is solid

3. Cut a piece of cardboard to match the frame and attach the back of the frame to it with glue only on three sides; make sure you leave one side open to slide a photo through

4. Cover the surface of the frame with vinyl glue and pour sand all over it; lift the frame and eliminate the excess sand

5. Decorate with shells
