Sometimes you want to capture good memories and place them in a memorable frame. If you can not find a frame for a photo or you just want to make a gift with your own hands, you can make it yourself. Here are two simple ways to make a beautiful photo frame.
How to make a photo frame from paper?
Before you make a photo frame of paper, we will prepare everything you need:
- a pair of sheets of thick paper (perfect watercolor or designer);
- stationery knife and carpet for cutting;
- scoring;
- glue;
- double sided tape;
- various decorative ornaments.
Now let's look at the step-by-step instructions for making photo frames by yourself.
1. The frame will be square in cross section. The height of the bar is 2 cm, the dimensions are 25x30 cm. We cut 4 strips with a width of 10 cm from a sheet of paper. Two strips of 30 cm in length and two of 25 cm in length.
2. Next, mark the strips as follows and scrape them. Remember that the final result depends on the quality of the markup.

9. Here such preparations have turned out.
10. It remains only to assemble the frame. Make sure that there are no cracks left and all parts are exactly aligned.
