How to Make a Fathers Day Frame

To make your Father’s Day frame, start by building a sturdy base for your frame using popsicle sticks. Since we used large rocks to decorate the frame, we doubled up our popsicle sticks to make a square frame.

Start by laying four sticks flat on the table. Spread them out so there are two sticks on each side of the frame, separated the width of one popsicle stick. Add some glue to the ends of the sticks and place two popsicle sticks on the top and two popsicle sticks on the bottom. Hold the sticks in place until the glue dries to ensure they stay stuck together.

When you’re sure your frame is dry, it’s time to start decorating! Add rocks around the frame and glue them in place. I purchased these rocks for $1 from Dollar Tree and we still had tons of rocks left over for another craft! Let the rocks sit for at least an hour to give the glue time to dry before moving on to the next step.

After the glue is completely dry under the rocks, you can add the printable insert. To do that, you’ll need to sign up for my newsletter and get access to all my free printables.

Father’s Day Frame Tips

These coffee filter flowers make great DIY Father’s Day gifts! And if you’re looking for different ways your kids can make this craft, you’re in luck! Keep reading to see answers to some common questions you may have about making this craft.

• What kind of glue should I use? I tried several types of glue when putting this craft together and found that Tacky Glue is the best option. You could also use plain white glue to put the rocks on the frame but it may not hold as well. Hot glue does not work at all!
• How do I add a photo to the frame? Adding a photo to the frame is simple! Instead of placing the printable insert behind the frame, put a photo in. Make sure to cut the photo to the size of the frame, then attach it to the back to personalize this Father’s Day gift.
• Can I use different types of rocks on the frame? You can use any type of rocks you want on this frame! Just grab the rocks you want to use and follow the above instructions to create a cool Fathers Day frame.
• Can I turn this frame into a magnet? Sure! To turn this frame into a magnet, attach magnetic strips to the back of the frame. But if you plan on using this frame as a magnet, I would suggest using smaller rocks than the ones we used. This frame is heavy! I don’t think it would stay on the fridge with large rocks like those.
