Framing a Picture in a Mini-frame - How Simple is That?

Framing a Picture in a Mini-frame

 

This post will teach you how to have a picture printed (miniature size), how to measure and cut, and then frame in a mini frame. The tools you’ll need are included in the following picture (How simple is this?). 

I took one picture of one of my favorite couples and had it printed at Walmarts as a “composite picture”.  I selected three copies of the picture to be printed on one 4 x 6 sheet.  It was my hope to find one of the three sizes of the same pictures would fit in the frame. I was trying to make this as easy as possible. Go to www.walmarts.com and select Photos, then See All Products. 

I’m assuming you have an account and you’ve pulled in the picture to an album. You need to have some familiarity with ordering prints on-line, so I am not going into great details. Now, drop down to Collage Products and then select Collage Prints.  I took some Screen Captures, but they won't post correctly.

The photo needs to be cut to fit inside the closed frame. Unassemble the frame and use the mat as the template to select the centered picture. 

See how the white frame is blocking out the whole picture and showing how much of the sub-picture will fit in the frame? 

The other two pictures are excess. Using a pencil draw a square around the borders of the picture and cut out with a clean sharp pair of scissors. 

Re-assemble the picture. 

Use up the excess as part of the gift wrapping, in this case the envelope it will be mailed in.
