Look in the mailbox each day and you’ll see many leaflets/brochures wasting there. Why not turn them into something nice and useful? Let’s make an origami frame out of these papers.
This frame is particularly useful for pre-schools that uses the children's photo and name to tag their book shelves, shoe rack and etc. It is inexpensive and very simple to do.
You'll need to cut the paper into a square. I line it with another piece of paper to make it 'harder'.
Fold it half.
And half again.
Open.
Fold all corners to the middle and open.
Fold one end to the line.
Fold again.
And again. Repeat for the remaining three.
Cut a picture and paste it inside. Paste the four flips onto the photo and your photo frame is done. Put a double layer tape at the back if you wish to stick in onto the children's bookshelves, etc.
