WHAT YOU'll neeD

Hot glue three popsicle sticks, evenly spaced, to a jumbo popsicle stick. Flip over and glue two popsicle sticks, horizontally, over top of the three vertical popsicle sticks.

STEP 1

BUILD THE FRAME

Let the kids paint the popsicle stick windows however they please. Let dry completely. Paint the top of the bar across the window, and the window sill white. This will act as a background so the white glitter and snow pops. Let dry.

STEP 2

PAINT THE WINDOWS

Cover the white paint with Mod Podge. Let the kids sprinkle the glitter and snow on top. Shake off excess. If desired, you can then add Mod Podge and glitter to the rest of the window. Let dry!

STEP 3

ADD THE FAKE SNOW

Add Santa hat to photos, if desired. Hot glue the photo to the back of the window. If you’re not using a 4×6 photo, you can cut out the photo of your child and glue it to a solid color background. Then glue that to the window. Trim excess paper so it fits within the window.

STEP 4

ATTACH THE PHOTO

Glue the wreaths or other decor to the front of the window as desired. Cut a piece of twine and tie to make a loop. Glue the knot to the back of the photo.

STEP 5

ATTACH THE DECORATIONS

Cover the back of the photo with a piece of felt. This isn’t necessary, but helps give the back a clean look.
