Here is a fun craft that can be done easily in an afternoon, and
with very few craft supplies! This craft is for all ages and can be as
elaborate or as simple as you want it to be.

You will need:
Halloween Free Printable Frame, provided by Mom's Break at:
halloween.momsbreak.com
Computer printer paper or card stock
Colorued paper or construction paper
Coloured markers or crayons
Kid-friendly scissors
Glue Stick

How To Make Your Halloween Frame Craft
Please get your illustrated, step-by-step instructions at: http:
//readingroom.janktheproofer.com/HalloweenFrameCraft.htm.

Step 1.

Assemble items needed to make the craft. You can include
Halloween stickers, glitter, or any other craft type item you have.

The two frames shown in the illustrations are just two of the many
frames available at Mom's Break Halloween. To download your free
printable Halloween frames (along with other Halloween
printables), go to: http://halloween.momsbreak.com.

Step 2.

Following the instructions printed on the Halloween frames, and
using the dotted lines, cut off the surrounding edge of the frame,
and then cut out the inside of the frame.

Step 3.

Using the frame as a guidelines, mark the cardboard and cut it to
be the same size as the frame.

Step 4.

The cardboard is trimmed so that the frame fits over it, with no
cardboard showing along the outer edges of the frame.

Step 5.

Using the same instruction as Step 4, cut the colored paper to fit.

Step 6.

Glue the colored paper to the cardboard, and then glue the frame
to the colored paper.

Step 7.

The inside of the frame can now be decorated! It can be a scary
Halloween picture drawn by your child, or it can be an "I Love You,
Grandma" picture for Grandma to hang up on her refrigerator! You
can also cut out other Mom's Break Halloween pictures, and glue
them to the coloured paper. Paste stickers, glue glitter---go wild!!!

Step 8.

You can also use the Halloween Frame to make a door hanger for
Trick-or-Treat night! Let Trick-or-Treaters know that they are welcome
at your house!

There are many other ways you can use Halloween Frames! Each
frame is approximately the right size frame for a 5 x 7 photo. Take a
picture of your favorite little Trick-or-Treater and frame it! Instead of
gluing colored paper to the cardboard, trim the photo following
Step 5, and then complete Step 6. This makes a great keepsake or
gift to send to grandparents who live far away. Halloween can be
fun---and it isn't just for kids!
