Greetings! I am thrilled to share a fun and effortless craft idea with everyone. Today, we will be making a Halloween picture frame art. This craft is interactive and suitable for children to participate in. I will guide you through every step and also provide a list of materials needed. If you are excited, let's begin and have a blast creating!
To begin, take out the paper from the center of the frame. Keep it aside for later use in the craft.
Then, cut four long sections of gem strips using scissors. You can use adhesive or the sticky backing that comes with the gems when adding them to your frame. I added a little adhesive to ensure they were secure.
Next, determine where you want your felt stickers on the frame. Remove the backing from each sticker and place them onto the frame..png)
Materials
- One frame- Any size will work, I'm using 3.75x3.75
- Halloween felt stickers-I purchased a pack from Dollar Tree
- Gem strips-You can find these at Dollar Tree and they have a sticky backing to them
- Adhesive (optional)
- Acrylic paint-I'm using black and white
- Scissors
- Paintbrush
- Round sponge brush
Applying paint to the picture frame
After removing the paper, use a paintbrush to apply black acrylic paint onto the wooden frame. I applied about two coats of black acrylic paint to my frame and let it dry completely.
Creating a design on the frame
Next, take a round sponge brush and gently press it onto the frame after applying white paint to the brush.
Adding craft gems
When applying the gem strips to each side, remove any excess that may hang over the edge with scissors.

Finally, take the paper insert that was set aside earlier and apply black acrylic paint to it. Allow the paint to dry completely before using white acrylic paint and a smaller paintbrush to add any desired wording or designs. I chose to add the word "Boo" and a few white polka dots.
We've finished making this Halloween picture frame art craft. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. For fun, you can take a photo of yourself, a pet, or a child wearing their Halloween costume, add it to the frame, and put it on display.
