Selfie 4 x 4 1/2" Table Picture Frame Or Ornament Pattern Printable for 1 3/4" Photo

"National Selfie Day" is June 21, the start of Summer, just in time for kids who are getting out of school, moving up a grade, or graduating high school! Want to display your selfie? Make a simple "selfie" picture frame, that is made to stand on a table or shelf, or hang as an ornament!

The frame is 4x4 1/2 inches, and the picture window is about 1 1/2", for a 1 3/4" photo, using photos cut from those instant print Instax Fuji cameras, like Polaroid, or those portable photo printer devices, like HP Sprocket, Kodak, Prynt, and more!

You can give this as a gift, tags, or as place cards, or party favor!

7 parts plus a panel for the photo sleeve template a 1 3/4" circle, and a panel part for a clear, bendable piece, an upside down heart, sandwiched between the easel "strut leg" panels, separate for a top and bottom, the clear piece allows for the strut leg to bend, so that it can pitch out, for the frame to stand! The strut leg panels are optional, and you can use Velcro / hook & loop to connect the whole strut leg to the easel back.

Can also print onto waterproof paper or vinyl, or card stock paper then coat with waterproof fixative or laminate, if buying the download. This is for a paper / vinyl substrate / surface material.

Connecting panels 2 & 3, with the 9 tiny holes in a 3 sided or u shape pattern, with ribbon thread through the hole circles, hole punched with an 1/8" hole puncher or use needle and thread, poke the holes and thread through them, thread in both directions, creates the photo pocket for the photo and it's clear photo sleeve, cut from a sheet protector page - just make sure the package is labeled "acid free" and/or "photo safe"!

4 main panel patterns, labeled:

panel 1 - front - top left
panel 2 - connected to panel 3 with ribbon
panel 3 - thread ribbon through circle holes
panel 4 - easel back - back of frame - top part of strut leg attached with glue or hook & loop to easel back - bottom

Cut away circles inside panels 1 & 2 for photo window
Hole punch all circles
Thread 1/8" or 3 mm wide ribbon 2 feet long, through panels 2 & 3, print sides facing in, thread in and out the holes both ways, knot on both side
Adhere panel 1, the front, print side up, on top of panel 2 facing down, glue inner edges one side at a time, then outer edges

Attach top of strut leg to easel back, align the bottom first, hold, gently place on work surface, flip top of strut leg back, add strong glue, the press onto easel back.
Instructions for strut leg:

Place top strut leg, all sides folded in and adhered down, of clear piece, do the same for the bottom front strut leg panel, but leave space unglued at both sides of the bottom. Ribbon will extend from inside the layers of the bottom strut leg, and connect to bottom right corner, tucked inside the bottom right corner of the frame.
With ribbon tail extending from bottom right of strut leg, adhered inside, place finished strut leg bottom right corner, sides aligned, glue down on top
With top strut leg connected to easel back, stand the frame, pitch the strut leg, push ribbon tail under the bottom of the frame, sticking out in front of the frame, trim down to 1-1/2" in front of frame, mark with pin where it stands on its own, push remaining tail inside bottom right corner of main frame in space. Glue in place, on inside.
Ribbon connects panels 2 & 3, just hole punch the circles with a long reaching, quality hole puncher, do after the flaps are folded under and adhered down.

Ribbon 6" long by 3/8" to 1" wide connects the easel back and strut leg at the bottom right corner, for it to stand - it stops the strut leg from pitching out too much. Can cut clear vinyl to the dimensions of the ribbon measurements and use.
