Photo corners used to be a functional way to attach your photos to your scrapbook layouts. Now, they’re also a way to add a bit of style. Using supplies you already have in your scrap supply stash, you can create custom photo corners with ease. Here are a few ideas you can try today.

I uploaded this layout a while ago, but I made some “unique” photo corners on it. I cut a regular cardstock mat with a 1/8″ border for each photo, inked the edges, and then instead of just adhering it to the photo, I cut slits in each corner and slipped the corners of the photos through them. I folded the mat corners over and finished them off with a brad
Easy peasy, but I am kind of proud of them

Gret ideas–thanks for sharing
great ideas!
I had read an article in your magazine on this topic and “lifted” one of the ideas featured in it, which showed photo corners made of paper clips and brads. It was the perfect accent to a page I did about the “Tools of My Trade”, detailing what I use in my daily vocation as a proofreader.
I love all of these ideas. I intend to incorporate them in my projects asap.
Great ideas – will definitely keep these in mind!
These ideas…& all the others in the September issue were so clever & creative. I am definitely going to try them out. TFS!
Great idea thanks for sharing. Have any idea’s for military pages?
Such cute ideas!
Great ideas! Love the button/ribbon one!
I love the ideas, especially Megan’s ribbon/button corners, but I have to say the photo in idea number one is my favorite part of this post!
I used DMC floss and a brad to stitch a photo corner.
