Your present is ready!

It's a foldable downloadable paper photo frame! For you! The actual files to download are at the end of the post. I'm a little nervous about how blogger will like all these pictures, but oh well! Let's get started! We'll do the pink one because it has a heart on it for Valentine's Day! Oh, and the pink one is really hot pink, not faded country red. 

You will need 2 sheets of 8.5 x 11 cardstock. Print the color of your choice! (Make sure you print it landscape and not portrait!)

Cut them apart on the black lines and cut off the white edges like this:

Fold along the white lines like this:

Glue along the long thin flaps like this and seal it up.

Now you have 4 pieces that are starting to really look like a frame!

Put glue on those tiny flaps at each corner and slide the top and bottom pieces into the sides. Do one corner at a time. 

Voila! You can use bits of tape or more little dots of glue to hold together any gaps or funny spots. The dimensions of the actual photo hole are 4.5 inches by 4 inches. The outside dimensions are about 8 inches by 7.75 inches. 

I just taped the photos to the back. Acid-free tape! And then I taped them to the wall because I got burned out, but you could easily use string or punch a hole and use a nail or something. You guys are smart. You'll figure out something. 

Here are the files you actually print. Available in turquoise (Pantone's color of the year) and fuschia (matsutake's color of the year)! Enjoy!
