This mini easel photo display is for 8-year-olds making one tabletop stand for a lightweight artwork card or family-approved photo. It is not built to hold a framed picture.
How to use this list
Lay out the jumbo craft sticks in an easel shape before gluing. Use rubber bands to hold pieces in position while washable tacky glue dries. Paint the sticks with washable acrylic paint using paintbrushes and paper plates as palettes; keep rinse cups and paper towels nearby. Attach mini wooden clothespins near the top to hold small photo printouts or artwork cards. Finish with self-adhesive gem stickers and a fine-tip black marker name or pattern.
Common mistakes
Do not try to clip a heavy frame or thick object into the clothespins. Let paint dry before adding glue, gems, or photos. Use only a small amount of tacky glue so craft sticks do not slide apart. Keep the easel on a level surface while the glue sets.
