Love You to Pieces

Last week, I snapped a pix of the kids at a State Park. It was candid and free...just perfect. I thought I would create a gift for an older relation.  When you are cooped up, you sort of need to keep moving. Know what I mean?  So, here is an interactive , easy kids' craft!




Supplies:

Glue Dots ©:  1" lines, Removable
4x6 inch photograph
9 tongue depressors
card stock
cutting mat
craft knife
metal ruler
Paper and embellishments for a decorative tag




1.  Using Removable Glue Dots ©, line 9 tongue depressors together on a piece of scratch paper.



2.  Place 1" line Glue Dots © along the edges and down the middle of your photograph.  
3.  Adhere your photo to the depressors.  Press down and smooth out. 



4.  Place your project on a cutting mat.  Use the depressors as a guide and slice apart your picture using a metal ruler and craft knife.
5.  Take Removable Glue Dots © off of the back of the sticks.





 6.  Create a tag...remember to use Glue Dots!  Use ribbon to tie up the tongue depressors.
