Crafting is a wonderful way for seniors to engage their creativity, improve fine motor skills, and enjoy social interaction. Personalized picture frames add a unique flare to an already meaningful decoration. Here is a step-by-step guide to creating your own personalized picture frame!
Materials Needed:
In order to complete this DIY craft, you will need the following materials:
1. Plain wooden or cardboard picture frames
2. Acrylic paint and brushes
3. Decorative items (buttons, beads, shells, etc.)
