Isn't this cool??
Well I thought so, so I thought I'd use this idea to make a hiding spot for a vintage photo of my grandmother in my altered journal book.

  • How to make a model or sculpture. Hiding Square - Step 1
    Step 1

    So for this little folded square hiding place you will want a double sided paper. I did my first test on yellow paper so you could see easier.

    Simply draw a square twice as wide and tall as you want your photo area to be. In this case my photo was 2 inches wide so my overall square was 4 x4 inches. You will then need a border area, mine was 1 inch all the way around.

    Cut out the square on 1/2 the top edge, all the right and bottom edge, and 1/2 way up the left side.

    Then score and fold the center vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines as indicated.
