These frames are simple to make with just a few cuts and folds. Depending on the paper used, they can be glue free, too. The thinnest paper available is best to make them no glue. Like a thin colored printer paper. If you go with normal construction paper you’ll most likely need to glue the flaps down. I wouldn’t recommend cardstock for this project.
