Custom size prints in colourful paper frames

How to create some cute kid-friendly frames using OddPrints.

My kids really love looking at photos of themselves, each other, and their family and friends! I thought some framed photos would be a nice little present for them both so I went looking for something they could easily display in their rooms.

After a quick Google search I found these cute, inexpensive, colourful, paper frames online and ordered a bunch. They come in neat little packs with string and little pegs included.

These are standard 4" x 6" photo wallets with windows measuring 8cm x 11cm. It’s always best to get a ruler or measuring tape to check the exact size of the frames and windows before making an order for any prints.

I decided to make an order for prints sized 8.5cm x 11.5cm so there would be some overlap and no risk of seeing the edge of the image peeping in from the side of the window.

I easily uploaded my whole selection of photos to our website (www.oddprints.com) and then entered the custom measurements in the width and height boxes, also ensuring I chose centimetres from the dropdown menu. (Inches are available too if you prefer to use those.)

You can select multiple images to upload in one go. It’s useful to have all of your chosen images in one folder.

Once 8.5cm x 11.5cm had been entered for the first image, the custom sizes were then automatically kept the same for each following image as it loaded, making the editing process pretty quick and easy.

These screenshots are taken from our website. The left screenshot shows where the measurements are entered, and the original image is displayed with the blue cropping tool — move this around to capture the part of the image you want to print. The right screenshot shows an example of how the finished print will look in the centre of 4" x 6" photographic paper.

A few days after completing my order my prints arrived in the post, hurrah!

8.5cm x 11.5cm images are supplied on standard 4" x 6" paper.

There was no need to trim them down, they just slipped straight into the paper frames and they look fantastic. The great thing is, it’s super easy to swap out old photos for new ones as they grow up and make more happy memories :)

The only thing left to do was peg them onto the string. Here are some displayed on the wall in my daughter’s room - she loves them!
