Card Frame
A picture frame is simply a holder that surrounds a photograph or other two dimensional work of art. It can be made of almost anything. A picture frame is frequently a work of art in and of itself. It might be beautifully carved or uniquely shaped. A picture frame can be solid, the rear side of the frame featuring a decorative picture. Greeting cards often feature attractive designs on their covers. Greeting cards make excellent photograph frames. This is how you can make a picture frame from a card.
Instructions
1. Obtain a greeting card with an attractive cover. The cover design or picture can be anything you wish. It is enough that you find it attractive.
2. Turn over the card so the back is facing up. Using your ruler, draw a 6 3/4 x 4 3/4 inch box on the back side of the card. The 6 3/4 inch side of the box should follow the 8 inch border of the card. The box should be centered on the back of the card.
3. Cut out the box on the rear side of the card. Open the card and place the photograph on top of the box on the inside of the card. The picture should face out through the box.
4. Cut 4 short and thin strips of paper out the box you just cut out of the card. These strips should be identical. You will be using them to place over the corners of the photograph to hold it in place.
5. Place 1 strip diagonally over each corner of the back of the photograph. Glue the ends of each strip in place. You should now have 4 tabs that hold your photograph in place.
