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.

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