Instructions:
Most yardsticks are 1" wide. 1/2 inch has measurements, the other 1/2" has
advertisements. We asked Dad to cut ours in half lengthwise to cut off the advertisements. He used a matte knife.
Our photo had a lot of empty space on both sides so we trimmed it to 4-1/2" wide. Most school class photos are 7"x5". If you photo is 7"x5", follow the measurements provided. Otherwise adjust
measurements.
Cut a piece of cardboard 8"x6". Glue photo in the middle. Cut your ruler on the 8" line, 13" line, 21" line and 26" line. Discard the last 10" of the yardstick. Glue yardstick pieces around photo. Arrange school supplies and glue around frame. Add an easel or a string for hanging.
