Today I’ll make a simple and beautiful picture frame. I had some Popsicle sticks at home, so I decided to create an original, rustic style picture frame that will match my room perfectly.
I love displaying pictures everywhere in my house. But, the most satisfying part is displaying pictures in the frames that I made.
Here are the materials that I used:
- Popsicle sticks
- Glue gun
- Hemp twine
- Walnut wood stain (optional)
- Piece of paper
- Picture

It is very simple and easy to make, so you’ll literally need only an hour to finish it.
So, let’s get started!
First, I draw a square on a piece of paper that will act as a guide that I need to follow.
Then, I started gluing the Popsicle sticks together with hot glue. You’ll need a small amount of glue to keep the edges nice and clean.
I glued 10 layers in total. They are perfectly lined up.
To give the frame more rustic look I stained it with a wood stain. I chose walnut stain because I really like how it emphasizes the beauty of the wood.
This step is optional, so you can leave the frame as it is, or you can add another color, for example blue, pink, white, depending on your taste.
I cut a 30 cm long hemp twine string, and placed it between the gaps of the frame.
Also, I tied a knot to keep it in place.
Finally, I can attach the picture onto the frame. I applied a small amount of glue stick on the top of the blue paper and glued the picture. Then I attached it on the frame and carefully glued the bottom.
And that’s it. I really like how this picture frame turned out.
