To be sure that all the parts are well glued together you can put them under a pile of books (or anything else heavy) to press all layers until the glue dries. Then glue the brown frames on top of the beige frames, center them so your frame will look nice. Lay the back part flat and glue the beige frames on it, one on each side of the fold. At this point, you must have 2 brown frames.ġ2- You now have to assemble the three pieces together. You now have 2 beige frames with a small ledge on the edges that will alow you to slide the photos into the frame.ġ0- Cover the “C” pieces with brown paper (wrong side together), and cut the angles.ġ1- Fold and glue the paper flaps. If you like making paper and cardboard craft, this simple tool is very handful and will help you to achieve better-finished projects.ħ- Glue “D” pieces on the back of “B” pieces.Ĩ- Cut 2 rectangles in the beige paper and glue them on the front.ĩ- Cut angles and the center. To glue the paper nicely without bubbles, I spread the white glue with a brush and then I flatten the paper by hand. 2 different papers (I used brown Skyvertex and beige tissue paper).Materials you will need for this handmade photo frame:

RELATED: How to make Paper photo frame How to make a photo frame out of cardboard It will make a cute father’s day’s present! I will put pictures of my kids in it and give it to my husband. The pictures are slide in the frame, so it’s super easy to switch them if you like to. Thanks to the fold it stands on itself and is perfect to display on a desk or a console. The photo frame folds in the middle, in you want to put it away (but who wants to do that?).
