Double Photo Frame

Difficulty: Very Easy

Parental supervision is recommended

Kids can double their fun making this attractive double photo frame out of paper. Put in a picture of Mom and Dad and surprise them for Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day or any special day.

What you'll need:

  • A4 sheet of paper (210mm x 297mm) - letter size in US
  • Craft knife or scissors
  • Lead pencil
  • Ruler
  • Black felt tip pen
  • Glue

How to make it:

  1. Fold A4 sheet in half twice to form a side opening greeting card.
  2. Open once and measure in  two cm from every edge including the centre fold line. Join up these marks with a pencil.
  3. Open out paper fully and cut out the centre of the two rectangles you have marked using craft knife or scissors.
  4. Using the cut out shapes, draw two speech or thought bubbles in a black felt-tip pen. Cut out shapes outside of marked lines.
  5. Fold sheet back up once and glue the bubbles in a corner of each frame - overlapping the frame looks great.
  6. Now glue a one cm line on both edges and in the centre.
  7. The top opening edge is where you'll slide your photos in. Put them in now and write suitable captions in the bubbles.

Tips:

 

  • To strengthen the frame you can glue cardboard onto the back.
  • Using plain white paper enables you to decorate in fun bright colours or colour to suit your decor OR using textured or parchment paper gives a stylish effect.
  • Using A3 paper creates a four opening frame.
