With our easy-to-use AccuCut MARK 5™ Die-Cutting Machine and Photo Mat #5 die, your students can turn their personal photos into beautifully decorated frames, while also sharing the stories behind their special memories. This project is a great way to promote creativity, self-expression, and teamwork in your classroom. Grab your materials and get started today!
