    Kent Lindsey, host of DIY Kids, and the DIY Kids show you how to make special pet picture frames for your desk, your bedroom wall or even the fridge.

    Materials:

    Picture frame
    Sticky craft glue or a hot-glue gun and glue sticks
    Scissors
    Pet picture
    Birdseed, pet toys, wooden shapes, small dog treats, animal stickers or other items for decorating the frame

    1. Pick out a frame that fits your picture. Measure the picture and cut it to size if necessary (figure A).

    2. Gather items to glue onto the frame. For a picture of a cat, you could use small wooden cutouts to make a cat's paw. (We got our cutouts at a craft store.) Use a large round cutout and a few smaller ones to create a cat's paw in the corner of the frame. Glue on the pieces with a hot-glue gun (figure B).

      Tip: Before gluing anything onto a clear frame, it's a good idea to put the picture in first. Then you can see the best places for your decorations.

    3. A catnip-filled mouse also makes a great decoration for a picture of a cat. Glue the mouse onto the corner of the frame so your pet still shows through (figure C).

    4. You can also use pet food and treats to decorate the frame. To decorate a frame that will hold a picture of a bird, paint sticky craft glue onto the frame (figure D), then sprinkle birdseed onto the glue (figure E). Let the glue dry, and put the picture in the frame.

    5. To decorate the frame for a picture of a dog, arrange tiny dog-bone shapes around the frame (figure F), and attach them with a glue gun. You can add stickers to the frame to add more interest (figure G). Just wait for the glue to dry, and you can show off your picture.
