• What do you need

1 Take a square sheet of tissue paper of any color you like. For origami, it's best to use thin paper as it folds easily.It will be easier to make even folds that give the finished craft a neat and professional look. Choose a paper color that works well with the image in the photo. Black and white photos look great in bright photo frames, and color photos look great in paler ones.

• From a square sheet with a side of 15 cm, you can get a photo frame with a height and width of about 7.5 cm.Likewise, a photo frame with a height and width of about 10 cm is obtained from a square sheet with a side of 20 cm.
• Specialty origami paper is best for this project, as only one side is painted and the other is white (or different). Thanks to this, you can get a multi-colored photo frame. However, plain paper will work as well.

2 Fold the sheet in half horizontally and vertically. First fold the paper in half horizontally and then in half vertically again. Rinse the folds to keep them perfectly straight. After completing the folds, you will have a square that is one quarter of the original.

• If necessary, use a wooden ice cream stick or ruler to rinse the folds better.

3 Unfold the paper and place it on the table. Two perpendicular lines from the folds will be visible on the sheet. The point of their intersection is the center point of the square.

• If the paper does not lay flat, straighten the folds better to fit the paper well on the table.

4 Fold up the top and bottom edges of the paper 2 cm. Fold the top and bottom edges of the paper about 2 cm towards the middle. You will get a rectangle. Try to make each fold as straight as possible, as this will help you get your photo frame perfectly square.

• If you are using a square of paper with a side of more than 20 cm, fold the edges of the sheet by 3 cm.

Part 2 of 2: Finishing Touches

1. 1 Fold the sides 2 cm towards the vertical center line. You will have a square again. If the resulting shape does not look like a square, correct the folds so that the sides of the shape are approximately the same length. Try to make the folds as straight as possible for a neat and professional result.
   • Again, if you are using a square of paper with a side over 20 cm, fold the edges of the paper 3 cm.
2. 2 Flip the paper over to the other side and pull all corners of the square to the center point. First, align the tip of one folded corner of the paper with the center point, then fold over the fold. Repeat the procedure for all four corners. You will get a smaller square.
   • Try to line up the tips of all the folded corners exactly at the center point, as this will help you get an even frame.
3. 3 Flip the paper over again to reveal the finished photo frame. When you flip the folded square over, you will see small triangular pockets at each corner. Insert a square photo into these corners to lock it into the photo frame. The same triangular pockets will form diagonals at the corners of the photo frame.
   • This photo frame can be a great gift, wall decor or refrigerator decoration.
