[Photo Frame] Ideas for Making Picture Frames with Paper Plates

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

There are probably many people who think, “Instead of just tucking photos full of fun memories into an album or keeping them as image data, I’d love to display them in my room.” And if you’re going to display them, you’d want them to give off a cozy, warm vibe that makes you smile when you look at them.

So in this article, we’ll introduce handmade photo frame and stand ideas using paper plates! It’s a feature you can enjoy making together with small children—perfect for fun at-home time.

[Photo Frame] Ideas for Making Picture Frames with Paper Plates

Cherry blossom photo frame

I made a wall decoration—a cherry blossom photo frame—using just a paper plate and origami 🌸

Cherry blossom photo frame

This photo frame is decorated with origami cherry blossoms that convey the warm air of spring.

Cherry blossoms are strongly associated with milestones that come in spring, such as graduation and school entrance ceremonies, so they’re perfect for displaying photos that look back on memories.

Place the photo in the center of a paper plate and surround it with small origami cherry blossoms.

Pay close attention to the three-dimensional look of the blossoms, and pack them in so the base paper plate doesn’t show—that’s the key point.

Snowman photo frame

This is a cute photo frame with a snowman motif that conveys the fun of winter.

Use a paper plate to represent the snowman’s belly, then add parts like the face and hands to decorate it.

Place the photo in the center of the belly; it’s also nice to cut the photo into a circle to match the overall round shape.

If you’re hesitant to cut the photo, cut out the middle of the paper plate and attach the photo to the back so it shows through.

By paying attention to the snowman’s expression and the colors of the decorations, you’ll finish a photo frame that really highlights your joyful winter memories.
