Prepare the Frame Base

Gather all the materials. Cut one square from white paper, one square from cardboard, one long paper strip, and eight small rectangular paper pieces.

Assemble the Back Stand

Stack two small paper rectangles together to make one corner support, creating four corner supports in total. Stick them to the back of the white paper using Fevicol Glue Drops and slide the cardboard into the corner supports. Fold the long paper strip into a triangular stand and attach it to the back using Fevicol Glue Drops.

Make the Wooden Frame

Arrange eight wooden craft sticks into a square frame and stick them together using Fevicol Glue Drops. Allow the frame to dry completely.

Paint the Frame

Paint the wooden frame using Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours and leave it aside until the paint dries completely.

Create the Decorations

Draw and cut out a cloud, flowers, balloons, and a heart from white paper. Paint the cut-outs using Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours and outline the details with a black marker.

Decorate and Finish

Stick the painted decorations onto the frame using Fevicol Glue Drops. Write "Happy New Year", insert a photograph into the frame, and your colourful New Year photo frame is now ready to display!
