DIY Polaroid Photo Sleeves | Personalized Photo Prints

Not lying, I was inspired by Fujifilm’s wide range of instant photo film designs. There are just so many designs that are great for various occasions! There are multi-coloured ones, multi-gradient ones, minions, little twin stars ones and not just the plain ol’ white ones. I don’t own an Instant Polaroid Photo Camera so I don’t get to try them out ): However, I do print my photos but they are always in white borders. I was determined to give my photos a life.

I love DIYs and getting hands on, so I thought, hey let’s make my own photo sleeves! They are pretty easy to make and they don’t take up too much time.

For this DIY, you will need:

Materials
1) Photos of your choice
2) Origami papers
3) Scissors
4) Tape (Washi/Double Sided/Glue)

You can find origami papers at any craft store such as Popular bookstore or Daiso. You can also use other types of design papers that you may have.

I will be using our Small Vintage prints as an example for this tutorial. You can print your photos on them here: Small Vintage.

3. Align your photo with the Origami paper and fold down

4. Tape using Washi tapes or Double sided tape
