The frames are fun to make.The frame is made from a piece of paper and a flat surface.A diamond-shaped inner frame is created with this method.You can gift your photo to a loved one or hang it on the wall.
Step 1: You can get a square piece of lightweight paper.
The lightweight paper is easy to fold.This helps to make the end product look professional.Pick a colour that will compliment your photo.Black and white photos look great in brightly coloured frames.A 6 in (15 cm) square of paper is enough to make a frame that is 3 inches wide and high.An 8 in (20 cm) square of paper makes a frame that is about 10 cm high and wide.The paper has one coloured side and one blank side.This helps to make a frame with different colors.Regular paper will work.
Step 2: The piece of paper should be folded in half.
The paper should be folded in half horizontally and half vertically.Make them nice and crisp by pressing down on the folds.You will have a square that is 14 of the size of your original piece of paper.To make the edges look sharper, use a popsicle stick.
Step 3: Place the paper on the table.
This will show two lines.The middle point of your square is where the 2 lines cross over.If the paper is bent over, smooth it over so that it sits on the table.
Step 4: The top and bottom edges should be folded toward the middle.
This makes a shape.If you can make each fold even, the frame will have a perfect square shape.If you are using a square of paper that is larger than 20 cm, make 1.25 in folds.
Step 5: The 2 sides should be folded 0.75 in toward the middle line.
This will make a shape.If it doesn't look like a square, adjust the folds until it looks the same length.To get a professional finished result, try to make the folds as crisp as possible.If you are using a square of paper that is larger than 20 cm, make each fold a length of 1.25 in.
Step 6: Pull the paper over to the middle point.
To create a fold, take the tip of a corner and place it in the middle of the paper.For each corner, repeat this technique.You will have a smaller square shape after this.To make the photo frame look even, place the tip of each corner on the middle point of the paper.
Step 7: Your finished photo frame will be revealed when you turn your paper back over.
There are small triangle pockets over each corner when you turn over your square.To keep the photo in place, put a square photo under the pockets.The inside of your frame is a diagonal shape thanks to the triangle pockets.These frames can be used for wall decorations and fridge decorations.
