How to Make an Origami Picture Frame

Easy6 steps Toys and things

A square photo frame with four corner flaps that hold a picture, in six steps. Make it from a big square for a real photo.

You need: One square of paper. 15 cm (6 inch) origami paper is ideal; any square sheet works.

Step by step

1
Start with the coloured side up. Fold in half both ways, then unfold.
2
Fold all four corners to the centre.
3
Turn the paper over.
4
Fold the four corners to the centre again.
5
Turn the paper over.
6
Fold the four points in the middle out to the corners. This opens the window.
✓
Slide a small photo or drawing under the four flaps. Your picture frame is done.

The frame comes out half as wide as your square: a 30 cm (12 inch) square makes a 15 cm (6 inch) frame.
Glue a loop of thread on the back to hang it up.
