12 Days of Christmas Gifts - Day 5 - Photo-Card

Hi Crafters

Here we are with Day 5 of the 12 Gifts of Christmas.

This is another gift that can be made all year around, particularly good for new parents, first Christmas or Mothers Day.



Day 5 Photograph Card

You will need 2 pieces of good quality craft paper 12 x 12 cut to 11 x 11
2 coordinating heavy card stock A4 or 1 sheet A4 & 1  6 x 6 card and envelope

Take the two printed papers and cut to 11” squares and then fold into a frame shape 
See how to make this on YouTube,  'Red Ted Art' - Easy Paper Photo Frame -

As watching the video gives easy instructions

Cut 2 squares 14cm of black card to place in the middle of the frames

The piece off the end 2cm wide fold in half and cut approx. 9cm long to use as a binder for the 2 frames. You will need to cut a diagonal each end and make the length to fit so it can be placed into the recess of each side of the frame. 

Cut another piece of card 16 m x 12” and gently fold in half over the 2 frames

Or if using a 6 x 6 card place the frames inside the and 

Decorate the front of the card or cover with fabric before adding the frames to the inside

Glue the frames to the inside of the cover

You may wish to make a fold over flap to close up the photo frames in  which case cut a piece of card 6” x 5cm and score at 2.5 and 3”

Glue the short end to the back of the cover before gluing the frames inside

Use a magnet or velcro dots to hold the strap in place

As you can see my photo-card is not made with a Christmas Theme, but you can use papers and decorate according to your theme, and with photographs of friends or family these photo-cards can make special personalised gifts, great for those normally difficult to buy for.

Happy Crafting
