Mother's Day Popsicle-Stick Picture Frame
May 2, 2022
Surprise mom this Mother’s Day with a one-of-a-kind, homemade popsicle-stick picture frame. Use common craft items to create a thoughtful gift she will enjoy for years to come.
Items needed to make the frame:
• Popsicle sticks
• Markers or crayons (optional)
• Hot glue gun with glue sticks
• Construction paper
• Buttons, pom-poms or gems
• Hinge clip
• Magnet buttons
• Cute photo of mom and kid(s)
First, layout the popsicle sticks on a flat surface to figure out the size and shape of your frame.
Cut a piece of construction paper that is slightly smaller than your frame and hot glue it to the popsicle sticks. This will ensure the frame holds together.
Then, flip over the frame and start decorating it. Hot glue the buttons, pom-poms or gems onto the frame. If the frame is made of plain popsicle sticks, feel free to brighten it up and color the frame using markers or crayons.
Once you have completed decorating the frame, hot glue the hinge clip to the frame to hold the picture and hot glue the magnetic buttons to the back of the frame. Open the hinge clip and position your picture in it. When the glue has cooled and hardened, wrap the frame in wrapping paper or put it in a small gift bag until Mother’s Day.
Once mom opens her gift, she can hang it on the fridge or wherever she is likely to see it often. Your mom will be sure to smile when she sees the sweet picture and frame every morning when she sips her morning beverage.
As we move into the second quarter of another exciting year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share some of the new initiatives we are implementing in the realms of sales, marketing and community engagement. Over the past year, GBU Life has reached significant milestones thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and support of our members. Our sales department has exceeded targets, and we have expanded our reach to more communities than ever before. We have launched several successful marketing campaigns that have not only increased our visibility but have also strengthened our brand's presence in the industry. For this year, our focus will be educating potential new members on the importance of securing their financial futures through life insurance and annuity products while serving their communities as part of our great Society. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our sales strategies to better serve you. We are introducing some tools for our agents to enhance our products. One new tool is our Defined Benefit Annuity program which combines the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) with a software tool that can help determine retirement savings needs and break them down into contributions over time to help you meet your retirement goals. Be sure to keep in touch with your GBU agent to review your plans and products to see how adding an FIA to your retirement planning can help boost your savings efforts
GBU has designated four Community Pillars - Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support - which are a concentrated list of causes that resonate with our values.
