What a great way to display your family photos! Kids can make their very own vintage TV to keep on a shelf, Mom or Dad’s desk, or anywhere the family thinks it will look great.

Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to create beautiful crafts and homemade cards just for Mom! Treat her to special recipes and bond with printable activities as well.

What you'll need:

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. (See photo.) Lay the box down on the work surface.
3. Trim your photo to have rounded edges in the corners. If you photocopied or printed your photo onto white paper, trim around the edge of your photo, leaving a small white border around the picture. Use the glue stick to attach the picture to the upper right section of the box. (See photo.)
4. Use white craft glue to attach the two drink lids to the left of the photo for the TV knobs. (See photo.)
5. Use a pen to poke two holes in the side of the box, above the photo (which will be the top of your TV). Cut the chenille stem in half and insert each half into a hole. Add a little craft glue to the hole to keep them in place. (See photo.)
6. Use brown marker to write your family name across the bottom, such as "Smith Family TV".

Tips:

1. If you prefer, you can use a color copier for your image, thought the black and white looks more vintage and matches the design of the TV.
2. For a more futuristic looking TV, use black construction paper instead of brown, cover the lids in foil, and use silver chenille. A color photograph and white craft pen will finish off the project!
3. To simplify this project, instead of using a cereal box, just use construction paper glued to a piece of cardboard or poster board. You can also use buttons or pennies for the knobs.
