Our Family TV

Our Family TV

Make a vintage TV frame to hold a special family photograph. It makes a great gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

What You Need

  • 1 empty cereal box
  • tape
  • glue stick
  • 3 sheets tan or brown construction paper
  • photocopy of a 4×6 photo
  • 2 plastic lids from milk or juice containers
  • white craft glue
  • pen
  • 1 gold chenille stem
  • scissors
  • brown marker
  • zipper sandwich bag filled with rice, beans, or sand

How To Make It

  1. Place the sandwich bag filled with rice, beans, or sand inside the empty cereal box. Tape the top of the box closed.
  2. Use glue stick to completely cover the box with the brown or tan construction paper. Lay the box down on the work surface.
  3. Trim around the edge of your photocopied photo, leaving a small white border, and round the corners with your scissors. Use the glue stick to attach the picture to the upper right section of the box.
  4. Use white craft glue to attach the two drink lids to the left of the photo for the TV knobs.

This project was created by Amanda Formaro, originally for Kaboose/Spoonful.
