A
FotoFish Fun Frame
You’ll need:
- A Styrofoam tray
- Colored tissue paper
- Glue stick
- Varnish
How to build it:
- Draw the fish on the tray and cut it out.
The fish should be a little smaller than the photograph
you want
to frame.
- Cut different-colored tissue paper into little
pieces.
- Using
glue stick, glue both sides of the tissue paper to
tray so that they overlap a little.
Also cover the fish
cut-out, which will serve as the frame’s stand.
- After you’ve covered the frame and the fish,
varnish both.
- Let the pieces dry, then glue the fish to
the back and use it to hold up the frame.
- Attach the photo to the back
of the frame with adhesive tape. Pretty fishy, isn’t
it?

Use your imagination: You can cut out any kind of shape
to make your frame. Try a star, a sun, a flower, or make
a bunch or smaller openings
for a multi-photo frame.
