Frame It For Dad!

Create a one-of-a-kind frame, add a photo of you and your dad, and . . . ta-da! The perfect gift for Father’s Day!

What You’ll Need

  • Plain canvas frame
  • Acrylic paint
  • 1-inch paintbrush
  • Scrapbook letter stickers
  • Foam or dimensional stickers


What to Do

  1. Spread newspaper over your work surface.
  2. Carefully remove the glass from the frame and set aside.
  3. Paint the frame. You may need more than one coat to cover the canvas. If so, be sure the first coat is completely dry before adding a second coat.
  4. Allow the frame to dry thoroughly. (This will take a couple of hours.) Arrange decorative stickers and letters as you like on the frame.
  5. Carefully replace the glass. Place a photo of you and your dad inside the frame.

Tip: To avoid paint blotches, wipe off excess paint from your paintbrush before you start painting!
