And I happen to love black and white photos, so win, win! And since I like to change out the photos in my frames, it makes more sense for me to go with the inexpensive engineering prints. The look of the engineering print is so much better than I thought it would be. But I thought it was nice of them to ask! I declined since I was using the engineering print as more of a “template” to get the size and space worked out with the frame before shelling out the big bucks on a higher quality photo. Office Max did call and ask if I wanted them to print the photo using a photo printer and photo paper. Then I traced around the outside edge of the mat with a pencil.Īll that was left to do was cut on that pencil line. I placed the mat on the photo moved it until I had her face inside one of the rectangles. That’s why I ordered the print in a size way bigger than the size of the frame. Cost: $3.90īecause I wanted my daughter’s face to fall within one of the “panes” of the mat, I needed enough “play” room with the photograph. I went online to Office Max and ordered a black and white engineering print and it was ready in about an hour. I intentionally made the print bigger than I needed. I made sure to check Constrain Proportion and the width became 36″. I opened the photo in Photo Shop Elements and changed the height of the photo to 24″. I knew I needed to use a landscape oriented photo since I wanted to hang the frame horizontally versus vertically. Photos enlarged to the size I needed can be fairly pricey so I had the photo printed as a black and white engineering print at my local Office Max on 27# paper.įirst I chose the photo that I wanted to use. The frame is fairly large (12″ x 30″) so I would need a big photo. I like that it has the appearance of looking through an 8-pane window. Here’s a peek at one of the projects I’ll be demonstrating: How to Use One Photo in a Collage Frame.Įven though the ORKENED frame is designed to hold eight photos, I thought it would be fun to try something different. There will be demonstrations, food samplings, drawings for prizes and freebies! I’ll be there demonstrating creative ways to use picture frames. I am thrilled to be participating in the BYOF (bring your friend) Event at the Ikea store in Baltimore, Maryland this Saturday.
