Instructions
First, decide if you will color the craft sticks red or purchase them already colored.
Secondly, make a triangle from three craft sticks using a hot glue gun. Two red ones as sides, and one natural craft sticks as a triangle’s base.
Then, it is time to secure the pom poms. Decide whether you are going to use a hot glue gun or tape.
Lastly, secure a picture to a frame.
Finally, glue the twine to the back of the frame, and your Santa Picture-Frame Ornament Craft is ready!

Age – Appropriate
Adrian (9 years old) was able to make this craft entirely independently. He has been using a hot glue gun for a while, and I am confident with his skills. However, if you make a frame and offer tape, a much younger child can secure the pom poms and paint the craft sticks. So, use your judgment and always supervise your child since small items are choking hazards, and a hot glue gun is hot and can burn.
