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.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Paper
  • Ruler
  • Pencil(s)
  • Cutting Knife

Steps (5 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    So for my book I used a wild pattern and ended up rotating it a 1/4 turn.

  4. 4

    By the way if you look really closely my grandmother is holding a skull and cross bones flag! Go Gramma!

    Here it is closed up. I also added another bit of dotted paper.
