Here's a fun, fast, inexpensive, and really awesome way to use a collage frame for one photo! I had an engineering print made at the office store for just a couple dollars, cut it down to fit the size of the Ikea collage frame and now look! It's like looking through a window! #WallCandy
A large black and white engineering print from the office store only cost a few dollars.
The ORKENED frame is fairly large (12 x 30) so I would need a big photo. 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 for just a few dollars.
Just trim the print to size!
Because I wanted my daughter's face to fall within one of the "panes" of the mat, I needed enough "play" room with the photograph. That's why I ordered the print in a size way bigger than the size of the frame. I placed the mat on the photo moved it until I had her face inside one of the rectangles. Then I traced around the outside edge of the mat with a pencil.
Doesn't it look like the bride is sitting just outside the window!
