Folded Frame Tutorial


Folded Frame Tutorial
This is a lovely idea to frame a photo,
I saw it demonstrated on Create and Craft.
I have used a peel-off to add some detail to the folds of the frame
But you could use, a gold pen or stickles
or try punching the corners.

Cut a Sheet of Double sided paper (you need a heavy weight paper for this project, about 180 to 200 gsm)
Fod the paper in half then quarter. Don't crease it to with a bone folder.

Open paper out, and bring each corner into the middle and crease with a bone folder.

Sheet folded

With a ruler mark each triangle panel 1cm in. and draw a line.

All 4 tringle panels marked with pencil.

Using your ruler as a rest, fold back each panel.

All 4 panels folded back and creased with bone folder,


You need a 9cm square image, matted onto 9 and 1/2 cm Sq, background, and matted onto a 10cm Sq gold baclground.

Stick the topper centrally inside folded frame,
add a small strip of foam tape to each inside fold.
and fold each tringle shut.


Add a strip of foam tape to the outside folds.
and fold the tringles outwards

Turn the frame over and add a small foam pad to the tip of each triangle.


I have choosen a matching background, but to save ink, I have removed the inner Sq pane.l
see the tutorial on saving ink by cropping the center of printed matting layers HERE
