Want to make your own photo frames? Here is a great activity for the kids (and grown-ups) to do them. Not only is it super easy, but you only need some paper and a few minutes

Time: 5 minutes (per frame)
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials

Origami paper or any other coloured paper (I used a 25cm x 25cm paper for this demo)

A ruler

Photos or artwork

Method

First, put your photo roughly in the middle of the paper. Make sure to measure equal width horizontally. It does not really matter lengthwise.

Fold both sides on the photo horizontally and then vertically. Then remove the photo. This will leave you with several creases.

Fold on the vertical crease twice on both sides and then fold horizontally. Flip over and apply pressure using the ruler to make sure the paper is crisp.
