I saw this idea a LONG time ago, but didn’t try it out until I was going through some craft supplies in the basement. I love it because it was SO EASY and only involves saving small boxes or packaging from actual picture frames.

We simply used a glue stick to attach his masterpieces to the cardboard box / frame.  The blue picture was made using his fingerprints and the larger one is his interpretation of our garage.

Here are the finished products:

Use cardboard boxes as a frame – just one more use before recycling!

Cute, huh?! I think it looks more official than just hanging it on the fridge.  And I encouraged him to draw around the blue picture with other markers for another “frame” in the frame.  There are a lot of things you could do with this project if you so choose.

Have a great day & happy crafting!
