Paper Scrap Picture Frame
Transform a few pages from an old magazine into a brand new picture frame with some fancy folding.
Here’s a great recycling project to subscribe to – transform a few pages from an old magazine into a brand new picture frame. It takes some fancy folding work, but once you have the hang of it, you’ll have a new frame in no time.
Once you’ve tried your hand at magazine pages, you can move on to other types of scrap paper and match the paper to the photo. An old map makes a great memento from a road trip to frame that vacation photo. Comic book pages make a great frame for your Halloween super-hero costume. Your paper recycling bin is your best source for inspiration.

Steps
Step #1:
Next
- 1: Measure and cut two pages from a magazine into squares that are 7" on each side. You can scale this project up or down, just make sure your squares are the exact same size.
- 2: Take one square piece of paper and fold it in half corner to corner. The paper should now look like a triangle. Fold the triangle in half again, straight across the middle. Unfold the paper so it is flat again.
- 3: Fold all four corners of the paper into the center. Open the piece of paper back up. This is fold A.
