Farewell Gift craft
What you need:

  • glue
  • ice-cream sticks
  • scissors
  • construction paper
  • chalk
  • yarn


How to make it:

  1. Glue four ice-cream sticks together to form a square. Let it dry.
  2. Cut out a square of black construction paper the size of the frame. Write a message in chalk on one side of the paper. On the same side of the paper, put a line of glue around the edges. Place the frame on the glue and press it in place.
  3. To make a hanger, poke two holes in the top of the paper, just inside the frame. Thread yarn through the holes and knot it.
  4. Decorate it with paper cutouts.
