Now I can NOT take any credit for this project! I am proud to say that my husband came up with these two ideas all on his own, ventured into the land of Hobby Lobby to purchase the supplies and sat down with our kiddos to make these for me. This was my gift for last year and I just love it. As you will be able to see, both kiddos chose to do the same style, so we still have supplies for the second style just waiting to be put together

Style 1: Mom Rocks

Supplies Needed:

• Picture frame
• Rocks
• Wood letters – came in a variety pack. He purchased an all caps pack and an all lowercase pack
• Clear glue
• A favorite picture – I printed out 5×7 and cut it down to fit the picture opening

Directions:

Let your children, if this is going to be from  your children, pick out their letter style they would like to use and if they want to put the words on top/bottom or on the sides. Then glue the letters to the frame and start decorating. Let it dry and then insert the picture. Note to any DADS reading this: Make sure you pick a picture and add it to the frame. It took awhile for this mom to remember to add one and I would have loved it if it came with one already in it. 😀

Style 2: Mom Rules

Since none of these have been made, yet, we do not have any pictures. But this is the idea my husband came up with and I think it would turn out pretty cute.

Supplies Needed

• Picture frame
• Colored popsicle/craft sticks – he found a variety pack
• Black thin tipped permanent marker
• Wood letters – see description above
• Clear glue
• Favorite picture to put in frame -see description in project above

Directions:

The idea for this craft is to create rulers out of each popsicle stick by marking them with inch marks using the marker. Then glue them onto the frame…either covering the entire outside of the frame or just doing the sides leaving the top and bottom blank OR whatever variation you can think of!  Once the rulers are in place, glue the letters to “Mom Rules” to the frame. Pretty cute sounding, right? I’m pretty impressed that he came up with this idea on his own! If anyone makes one, I would love to see a picture.
