Introduction
This activity can be made at any time of the year as a keepsake, for example for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, as a Christmas tree decoration etc.
Instructions
Give each Patrol a copy of the visual ‘how to make’ diagram (see overleaf) and sufficient material to complete the craft.
• Using the large heart template, cut out a heart from both the white card and red card.
• Using the smaller template, place it on top of the red heart. Draw around the heart and cut out the centre to create a frame.
• Place the photograph on the white heart and behind the red heart to make sure it fits the frame.
• When satisfied with the fit, trim the edges of photo and stick to the white heart.
• Now stick the red heart on top to complete photo frame.
• Arrange and glue buttons around the frame to cover it. A good variety of sizes of buttons works well but make sure they fit in together and don’t leave spaces or gaps.
• Make a bow from the red ribbon and stick to top of frame.
• Use the white ribbon to make a hanger at the back of the frame.
• Red buttons work well for Valentine’s or Mother’s Day but a variety of colours can be used alternatively for spring or summer crafts.
