 Trace the outline of a photograph onto your cardboard sheet making sure its in the centre.
Now,using a knife,carefully cut out the area within the traced outline as shown in the figure.

There are different ways in which you could stick the tapes onto the board to form an interesting pattern.
This is how i've done my frame.
Starting from the top left corner,first apply glue all along the breadth of the top frame until where the right frame and the top frame share a common area as shown in the figure.
This space gives room for us to tuck the tapes which will cover the right frame under the top frame.

The Same!

 Past the OHP sheet behind theopen square!
As shown in the following picture,past a coloured sheet behind your frame.Score along the adjacent length and breadth of the size of the photograph in order that you may be able to insert your pictures.
Make sure the above step is done before pasting the voloured paper onto the frame.
