as a base for cutting poke a hole into
your phone
with your scissors and then big game had
a slightly inside
line said that the frame will
overlap harder your picture
and this side and your comment will be
the backside
and are the inside rather here

will be here once your front
brain is cut out he'll put glue on three
edges
put this on the side that you wrote
concert will be hidden
and also be sure to leave a little space
around the center edges so that your
picture will be able to slide
into the frame
once you're clueless on press your frame
to the back P-thirty down
and then slide your picture in
on the unglued edge when your pictures
in the frame
had glue to the final side
and pressed down to seal
if your child is old enough she can cut
out a crown for her
brain on her and she feels uncomfortable
cutting out the crown
then do that ahead of time and the next
step will be to decorate

frame
where you want it to be placed and then
gently presses on being sure to avoid
touching any and ride glitter glue if

the next step is to make a tissue paper
flowers to stack your
papers as neatly as you can but they do
not need to be perfect

fan style back and forth and use your
table or work surface to press down the
edges as you fold
