Before you start your craft, be sure that you have the materials ready. You will need corrugated paper, cutter, a pair of scissors, ruler, pencil or marker, and paste. Now that you have everything that you need, you can now proceed with making your photo frame. Just follow the steps below:
1. Identify if your photo is on a landscape or portrait layout.
2. Measure your photo with a ruler and then plot it at the back of the corrugated paper. Be sure to make at least ½ inch allowance when you plot the measurement on the paper.
3. Plot the measurement on another corrugated paper. Then on the same sheet, plot the exact size of the photo in the middle. This is where your photo will be seen.
4. Cut the papers according to measurement.
5. Glue the 3 sides of the frame. The opening without glue is where you will insert the photo.
6. Design your photo frame. You can put beads or letter and image cutouts and paste it on the photo frame.
7. You can either attach a string to it so you can hang it or paste a triangle-cut cardboard to the back of it so you can display it on the table.
