Make Your Own - Paper Folded Borders

I love these borders.  I made them pretty easily using the Lattice Folds Template from Paper Wishes (Hot Off the Press). 

I started with the strips of patterned paper, traced the lattice fold pattern onto them, cut where indicated, and folded the paper back.  The gave me 1/2 of the white diamond shape because the back of my patterned paper was white.  Next, I glued this strip to a strip of white, so the hole left by my fold was backed by white, creating the look of white diamonds down the border.

Then I matted this on black cardstock.  Peel-off border stickers along the edges of the patterned paper finished it off nicely.
