We make picture frames. I use craft foam to cut rectangles and get buckets of pre-cut foam pieces to glue on for decoration. I have a bucket of holiday shapes like stockings and mittens, and another one of snowflakes. You can get these at Walmart or any craft store. This year, Highlights for Children offered a set of pre-cut foam frames for free if you sent home a flyer advertising their magazine. You could get the frames just for parent signatures, they did not need to purchase the magazine, so that's what we're using this year. We also have made pasta frames by cutting a shape out of oaktag like a tree, menorah or schoolhouse, cutting a hole for the child's picture and spraypainting the pasta gold. They turn out great, also, and are cheap to make.
