    Irregular photograph shapes, like this one, might seem unusual — but were actually common in past eras. Watch this quick video and learn to make mitered corners that will complement your vintage photos.

    Designer Pam Lange uses vintage look stickers to complement heritage photographs. The border stickers are adjoined with mitered corners to accentuate the unusual shape of the photograph.

    Materials:

    vintage-look border stickers, corners and accent stickers
    heritage photographs
    wax paper
    scissors or craft knife

    1. Place photo on a smooth, non-stick paper (such as wax paper or an empty sticker sheet).

    2. Cut border stickers to desired length, leaving a little excess to create desired corner.

    3. Place first stick and layer second border sticker over it, to create a cross (figure A).

    4. Use scissors or craft knife to make a straight cut directly through center of crossed stickers (figure B).

    5. Remove excess material from center (figure C). Remove stickers and photo and reposition on page as desired.

    6. Smooth mitered corners into place and press down to secure to page (figure D).

    7. Alternately, frame photo with border stickers and cover corners with accent stickers (figure E).

    8. Journaling squares can be embellished with adhesive corners that reproduce the look of vintage photo corners (figure F).
