Learning about JAPAN: origami photo frame tutorial

We talked a little bit about origami, we tried to make something, but it proved to be a little bit too difficult for D. just yet, so we decided to come back to it later. However we made a pretty photo frame using origami paper. I saw an idea for it  at The Crafty Classroom.

Materials:

• wide wooden photo frame (I found it cheap at Michaels) 
• mod podge and brushes
• four rectangles of origami paper
• rick rack for additional decoration (optional)
• glue gun (optional)

1. Spread mod podge all over the photo frame.

 

 2. Put origami paper rectangles on the photo frame and allign. Tuck extra paper to the back of the frame and secure with scotch tape.

3. Apply another layer of mod podge all over the paper.

4. Let dry and decorate with rick rack if desired (we hot glued them on to hide some imperfections :) D. also added a little butterfly) Insert your favorite masterpiece (in our case Ponyo) and voila:)
