Festive Fall Picture Frame

Fall is here and we love it! Cooler temperatures, changing leaves, hayrides, farmer’s markets, football, all the great fall activities are here. And so, I wanted to make some cute fall themed picture frames based around the farmer’s market.

You may remember a similar craft when we made our magnets, but this time, we transformed them into picture frames and added fall themed fruits and vegetables. Cute, right? So, without further ado, let’s make some fall picture frames.

Supplies Needed To Make Fall Picture Frames

How To Make Your Very Own Fall Picture Frame

Step 1

Take 3 popsicle sticks and lay them together horizontally. Take 1 and lay it horizontally above the 3. Using hot glue, glue 2 jumbo popsicle sticks on the left side and the ride side of your stand.

Step 2

Paint your farmer’s market stand brown.

Step 3

Free hand some apples on your red piece of paper.

Then draw some pumpkins on your orange piece of paper.

Draw some corn and apples on your yellow piece of paper.

And draw some corn husks and apples on your green piece of paper.

Cut them all out and shape them to make them look better if needed.

Step 4

Cut out a brown rectangle and write farmer’s market on it. Then glue it to your stand.

Step 5

Glue the husks to the corn using the glue stick.

Step 6

Glue the corn to the and pumpkin to your farmer’s market stand.

Step 7

Glue the apples on and start adding details. We used green glitter glue to make stems and outlined the small pumpkin using a pencil. We also added kernels to the corn.

Step 8

Tape your photo to the back of your picture frame, and you’re done!

Make This Fall Picture Frame Craft Your Own

Just like all our other crafts you can make this fall picture frame your own. You can do stuff like:

• Adding more pumpkins or apples or corn around the frame.
• Change the photograph inside to something fall themed. Frame pumpkin, trees changing colors, animals, anything you want. A fall background would look cute. Or even better, family photos.
• Decorate your farmers market with some autumn leaves.
• Add a “stand” to the back of your favorite frames and let it sit on the living room table.
• Use stickers instead of construction paper.
• Make a foam sign.

Our Experience Making Our Own Autumn Photo Frames

We love fall. And after I made that magnet the other day, I was like… you know what, we need this to be a picture frame! And that’s what we did adding our favorite things from the farmer’s market like pumpkins, corn, and apples. You can add other things if you wanted like acorns, candy corn, or other fall veggies and fruits.

Then I added some photos. And the best part is, you can glue them and make them permanent photo holders for those pictures or you can tape them and change them out next year.

And this makes a super cute keepsake for others like grandparents! We had a lot of fun, and I hope you guys did too make your own fall picture frames.
