Its again time of the month when the lovely people at Bostik send their arts and crafts box. This month the theme is Bonfire. The box had lots of sparkly stars, colourful lolly sticks, glitter card , foliage and pipe cleaners. I always save the box so that Little M my niece and I can create the craft together, so this weekend she came over on Sunday afternoon and we had our usual cake and smoothie.
This week I had lots of apples and pears that I had picked from my neighbours garden so we set about making an apple and pear smoothie and I added a handful of baby spinach just to make it a little more healthy. Little M did not complain and in fact she liked it so much she asked for a second helping. We played in the garden for a while and Little M collected some pretty leaves,but it started to rain so we went indoors only to realise that the box of leaves were still outside in the rain. Little M was a little upset so I let her look through the bostik craft box to see what she wanted to make.
She really liked the leaves and foliage in the box (thank god they were in there as it made her forget about the leaves we had collected in the garden which were now drenched). We decided to create a collage with them. Whilst I was looking for some card, I found an old picture frame that was sitting in one of the drawers so I gave it to little M and we decided to stick the leaves and stars to the photo frame to make a little Bonfire night theme present.
The frame turned out really pretty and we wrote a message and put the card in where the photo goes to create a perfect photo frame. Little M said that the lolly sticks with the stars looked like fire works.
To create your own Bonfire night photo frame you will need:
- A photo frame with a wide edging (minimum 1 inch wide)
- Bostil spray glue
- Foliage, leaves in different colours,
- Coloured lolly sticks
- Silver stars and sequins
- Black card and silver pen to write message.
- Scissors
Little M is thrilled with her frame and proudly took it home to gift to her parents. This would be the perfect gift to make during half term with youngsters as its really simple to make.
Being part of the Bostik 2016 bloggers with Tots100 and Merrily Crafts, I was sent some craft items in a box to create this project.

I like the sound of a Bostik arts and crafts box – how fun! I love the frame that you made with the goodies too – especially using the leaves as it really does feel autumnal looking at it. I bet your little one had fun working on it too. (perfect as the days get a bit cooler too)
