How to Make Origami Photo Frames
If you love to decorate your home with pictures of your family and friends, learning how to make origami photo frames is a great idea. In no time at all, you'll be able to fold up a collection of pretty frames for less than half the cost of purchasing one inexpensive picture frame from the local discount store.
Step 1
With the patterned side of your paper face down, fold your paper in half horizontally. Fold it in half vertically, making sure you have sharp creases. Open up to reveal a folded cross in the middle.
Step 2
Turn up the edges of the paper about 1/4 of the way to the middle.
Step 3
Flip your paper over. Fold each of the corners into the center.
Step 4
To make your frame a bit more stable, try gluing three of the corners down and adding a small weight to the bottom flap.
