Supplies:
- Picture frame with glass and removable backing
- Elmer’s glue
- Gel food coloring
- Cotton swabs
- Paper plates or paper towels
- Extra fine glitter (optional)
Instructions:
As the video shows, remove the backing and the glass from the picture frame(s). Drizzle some basic white craft glue over the glass. Then, dip a cotton swab in food coloring and create your masterpiece over the glue.
Let the glass dry, and maybe even add some glitter for extra pizzaz:) There is no wrong way to do this craft. Kids are always so proud of themselves when their masterpiece is dry. Seeing the sun shine through is magical for them!
Our frames were able to hold the glass in place. Depending on the frame you choose to use, you might need to help the glass stay in place (hot glue around the edges would work!).
