To create these really cute (and really easy to make) Lolly Stick Photo Frames you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lolly Sticks \u2013 we used a mix of\u00a0coloured\u00a0and\u00a0plain\u00a0but you could paint your own ahead of time. We used 17 sticks per frame, but this will vary depending on the width of your sticks (ours were quite narrow). Make sure that they are over 4 inches (10cm) long!<\/li><li>Decent craft glue<\/li><li>A selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/square-print-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Snapfish 4&#215;4\u2033 Photo Prints<\/a><\/li><li>Stickers, foam letters, pom poms or anything else you\u2019d like to use to decorate<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/square-print-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2018-05-02_0002.jpg\" alt=\"Easy DIY Teachers Gift by Dilan and Me \" class=\"wp-image-9448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2018-05-02_0002.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2018-05-02_0002-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2018-05-02_0002-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2018-05-02_0002-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/square-print-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4&#215;4\u2033 Square Prints<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-to-make-the-photo-frames-you-should\">To make the photo frames you should:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Line up enough lolly sticks vertically until you have a width just slightly larger than the 4\u2033 square prints. Using the lolly sticks we had this took 11 sticks.<\/li><li>Glue down one stick horizontally across the top of your 11 sticks, and one across the bottom. This will hold your frame together. Allow to dry slightly.<\/li><li>Gently flip your base over, and glue down your chosen print.<\/li><li>Now select four more lolly sticks (this is where we used the coloured ones). Glue down one across the bottom of your print, one across the top and then one down each side. Your frame is complete!<\/li><li>Decorate the frames in any way you\u2019d like. We used sticky-back foam shapes and letters and big fluffy pom poms.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s it! Seriously easy and quick, even for little fingers. Make as many as you need and either leave them as they are or add magnets or ribbon\/string to the back to allow them to be hung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/square-print-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/509A2087_web.jpg\" alt=\"Easy DIY Teachers Gift by Dilan and Me \" class=\"wp-image-9446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/509A2087_web.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/509A2087_web-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/509A2087_web-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/square-print-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4&#215;4\u2033 Square Prints<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a go at making your own photo frame with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/square-print-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Snapfish 4&#215;4\u2033 Photo Prints > <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Check out Laurens&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/dilanandme.com\/2018\/05\/08\/teacher-gifts-snapfish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full blog post<\/a>&nbsp;to see what other gifts she&#8217;s created to celebrate the end of the school year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left p1\">Photos courtesy of Dilan and Me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love seeing what you come up with!
