Grandma's Mother's Day Gift: Seashell and Bead Picture Frame

There are several ways to make grandma a personalized picture frame. You can start with an unfinished, wood frame. You can either stain or paint the frame to start. This frame can be used as a table top frame or a hanging frame.

If a wood frame is not what you are looking for, you can try the scrapbooking section of your local craft store. Here you will find dense card stock for photo album covers. A third option for the picture frame is a picture mat. You can find both the card stock and picture mat in a variety of colors.

Pick out seashells and colored beads. You will also need bead glue or a hot glue gun to secure the beads onto the frame. You can spell out the word "Grandma" in small beads across the top or bottom of the picture frame. This type of frame is perfect for smaller photos or snapshots.

If you use a cardboard or mat picture frame you will need to add a wall hanger. You can purchase a wire hanger or metal claws depending on the size of your picture frame.

You could give grandma an empty picture frame but a frame with a cherished picture is a complete gift. If it is possible, get the whole family together. Include all children and grandchildren. You may even consider including grandma and grandpa, but this will take the surprise out of the picture part of the gift.

If you cannot get the family together for a picture then you can consider an older picture. Maybe you had a recent family reunion or holiday with snapshots of everyone that you can cut and display as a collage in the picture frame.
