SUMMER HOLIDAY HOMEWORK, 2017

Subject : Fine Art & Craft

Activity : Spotty Dog-bone Picture frame.

Materials Needed : Tracing paper, White paper, Soft pencil, Scissors, thick card, Craft knife, Ruler, Palette or saucer,

Thin card, Acrylic or poster paints, Paintbrush, PVA glue and a spreader, Cord, Sticky tape.

Steps to follow : 1. Using a soft pencil, trace the dog-bone template from the beginning of the book on to white

paper six times.

2. Cut out the dog bone shapes using the scissors. Take care as you cut round the curves so that you

get six even-looking bones.

3. Paint each bone. When the background colour has dried, paint on some spots. Dont choose

very bright colours for either the bones or spots.

4. Ask a grown-up to cut the card for the frame, and to cut out the centre. Cut a piece of thin card

slightly larger than the hole in the centre of the frame.

5. Paint the frame a plain colour that will look attractive with your bones and with the photograph

you intend to display in the frame. Leave it to dry.

6. Glue the bones on to the frame. Push out any air bubbles with your fingers. If you have used too

much glue, let it dry then peel it off.

7. Stick a loop of cord to the of the back of the frame. Then attach the backing card with tape,

leaving the top free so that you can slip your photograph inside.

(Framing : If you are making a frame for one of your favourite pictures then you will need to make sure that the hole in the middle of

your frame is cut to the right size. Measure your picture before you begin and then make the hole slightly smaller than this. If the hole

is too big the backing sheet will show through)
