So many school memories… which photo frames should you use to frame school pictures?
We’re here to help you break apart that mystery, and give examples of how teachers, PTAs, and booster groups use paper picture frames and school photo mounts.
Let’s dig in and learn about cardboard school photo mounts.
How to frame school portraits from picture day
The kids get all dressed up (usually) and do their hair (usually), so let’s give them that luxe framing option. And this is something that could be tied to a fundraising event.
Offer picture frame mats—either on their own or with the frame—with the school mascot imprinted on the mat. It’s a professional framing option that will protect the print, add a bit of elegance, and it just looks nice, whether displayed on the desk, the mantle, or hanging on the wall.
How to frame school sports photos
Whether you’re looking to frame memory mates, player portraits, or candid photos from field day, we have ideas that will suit any need, any budget.
If you’re looking to frame 8″ x 10″ Memory Mates, you have options: a sturdy paper photo folder to get the print home and store it OR a sturdy cardboard picture frame (below).
But if you have other school sports photos to frame, we have some more colorful options. One of our most popular school photo mounts is a custom printed photo folder, complete with the school mascot, colors, and maybe even some photos.
Here’s why cardboard photo folders for school sports pictures are so popular:
- The photo folder cover protects from fingerprints
- Sturdy cardstock material protects the print in the backpack
- A fun, colorful way to get the photo to parents or grandparents
How to frame academic awards ceremony certificates and photos
Don’t just give students the paper award. Give it to them in a sturdy paper or cardboard certificate frame. Make it fun by adding your school crest, mascot, or slogan, or keep it simple by ordering blank award frames.
How teachers can use paper frames in the classroom
Want to roll a craft and gift idea into one? Have your kiddos decorate some paper frames. Draw with crayons, markers, colored pencils, stickers, or stamps. We recommend not using water colors or paints; that can warp the paper.
You might be asking yourself: are DIY school picture frames really popular?
Absolutely! DIY picture frames made at school are such a sweet, simple gift for parents or grandparents.
Teachers can integrate this activity into their curriculum for the hands-on portion. Have students draw what they’ve been talking about. Blank paper frames are popular for this, or the school can order paper frames in bulk for all the teachers to use. Add the school mascot for a school-wise coloring event!
How to present and display Student of the Month photos
