Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Photo frames that come in handy when displaying pictures.

There are all sorts—from highly functional ones that let you display several photos together, to stylish designs, to simple frames that make the photos stand out.

This article introduces handmade photo frame ideas.

Along with kid-friendly crafts using origami and construction paper, there are also craft ideas for adults.

You can of course enjoy displaying the finished pieces, and they also make great gifts when you put a photo inside.

Even at the larger 100-yen shops, you’ll find lots of photo frames lined up.

But the charm of handmade is limitless! Here, we’ll introduce an easy photo frame using cardboard you might otherwise throw away.

First, cut the cardboard into a donut-shaped circle about 30 cm in diameter, and cover it with your favorite colored paper.

Wrapping paper or chiyogami works too! Then attach a cute clip or clothespin, and you’re done.

It looks more stylish than you’d expect and suits any type of room.
