Easy Valentine Pom Pom Picture Frame Craft

Pom Pom Craft: Valentine’s Day Picture Frame

A handmade Valentine pom pom picture frame is the perfect craft to display or gift a photo of your love for the holiday.

This is a quick and easy craft, so is a fun activity for kids and adults.

Do the project alone, have a family craft night or coordinate a group crafting activity for a classroom, club or party.

No special skills are needed and even a small child can end up with a DIY picture frame that looks great.

All you need are a paper picture frame set, glitter pom poms and school glue.

You can make yours exactly like mine or you can get creative with different pom pom placement or a different color frame.

Paper Picture Frames

Ready to use sets of paper picture frames are available in convenient packs with twine and mini clothespins, so you can easily add your own personal touches.

The frames are made from sturdy cardboard that is inexpensive, but look nice when you hang them up.

I chose a white frame for this project, since I think it think it looks nice for Valentine’s Day.

You can get a set of frames in just white or with black, natural or assorted bright colors.

They typically come in sets of 10, 30 or 50 frames, so you can pick up however many you need.

It’s easy to slip your photo in through the opening at the top.

If you have a Cricut or other cutting machine, you can make and assemble your own.

However, these are very reasonably priced and it’s convenient to have them already put together and packaged with twine and clothespins.

Red, White and Pink Glitter Pom Poms

Pom poms are easy for people of all skill levels to use, so they are a great crafting material for all ages.

I used small 1/2″ size glitter pom poms that have sparkle tinsel in them, so they look festive.

You can use non-glitter pom poms or ones that are a little bigger, if you’d like.

I think it looks nice to use a small amount of pom poms as an accent instead of completely covering it.

This way the frame looks nice and the photo you put inside is still the focal point.

However, you do you and decorate yours however you would like.

Glue

Regular white school glue is fine for the frame, since pom poms are lightweight.

A stronger craft glue would be fine, too.

It doesn’t take much glue to attach each pom pom to the frame.

Just make sure you choose a glue that will dry clear, so that your finished craft looks nice.

Supplies / Materials

Paper Picture Frames with Mini Clothespins
Small Glitter Pom Poms (red, white and pink)
School Glue

Instructions

1) Gather your supplies and make a plan for how you want to arrange your pom poms on the frame. Make note of where the opening should be and whether you’d like your clothespin clipped in the center or on one side. Mine is on the side, so one red pom pom is on the clothespin and not on the corner of the frame.

2) Glue pom poms to the frame and the miniature clothespin.

3) Let the glue dry.

4) Use the frame yourself or give it as a gift.
