Text If you want to give a photo to someone, you can present it in this photo holder frame. The only problem will be determining the dimensions of the starting sheet!

1. Take a square sheet of paper, two-tone, color underneath. Hold it in a horizontal position.

2. Bring the upper edge to the lower edge using a valley fold from top to bottom.
We obtain a rectangle with two layers linked by an upper hinge edge.

3. Bring the lower edge of the front layer to the hinge edge using a valley fold from the bottom to the top.

4. Start again with the back layer.
We obtain a rectangle with 4 layers, two being free, two interior being fixed.

5. Open the rectangular shape around the fold-hinge that connects the two interior layers.
We obtain a rectangle with three flaps: a rear, fixed, linked by an upper fold-hinge and a lower fold-hinge with two free flaps.

6. Bring the lower right corner, then the lower left corner of the upper free flap, to the upper hinge edge (folds at 45°) using a valley fold.
The free upper flap now has a trapezoid shape, with two double-thick triangular points separated by a rectangle.

7. Using a valley fold, bring the upper right corner, then the upper left corner of the lower free flap onto the lower hinge edge (folds at 45°).
The lower free flap now has a trapezoid shape, with two double-thickness points separated by a single-thickness rectangle.

8. Flip the fold from right to left.

9. Bring the left edge to the right edge using a valley fold. Unfold. Locate the fold that you have just made, located in the middle of the rectangle. We will call it middle fold.

10. Take the left edge and bring it through a valley fold over the previous fold, then slide slightly (1 or 2 millimeters beyond the middle fold to cover it).
The flap that has just been folded down forms two triangular pockets at its right end. We will call it flap 1.

11. Take the right edge of the rectangle and also bring it through a valley fold to the left slightly beyond the middle fold. The overhang should be the same size as that made during the previous step, in order to maintain the symmetry of the fold.
The flap that has just been folded down slightly covers the previous flap.

12. insert the upper left corner of the flap that has just been folded under the upper triangular pocket of flap 1, then the lower left corner of the flap that has just been folded under the lower triangular pocket of flap 1. To do this , you must start by opening the pocket slightly, then slip the desired corner inside. Flatten well, which will put the fold in place.
The photo holder is finished. All you have to do is insert the four corners of a photo under the four pockets. Of course, the dimensions must match!
