scan picture frame?


so im thinking of starting to decorate babys room well... corner of my room
and i was wondering does anyone know if you can buy a picture frame specifically for scan pictures? like maybe a tall narrow one that you could frame the strip of 3 in? ive had a look on the internet but only found frames for single scan pictures.. which seems a bit pointless cos i could just buy a small photo frame!
so yeah... i was wondering if anyone in the UK (or elsewhere if you can get them online) knows if you can get a photo frame to frame the strip of 3 scan pictures altogether

Anna, your best bet is going to be to buy any cheap frame that you really like (wilkinsons do some nice ones that are a lot cheaper than card shops ) and that is bigger than the total size of your strip of pics (the overall size of the frame - ignore the cut out 'space' that it comes with).

Then buy a single A4 piece of card from a stationery or craft shop to make a custom mount.... place the frame on the card, draw around it and cut it out. Trim it until it fits into the frame.

Work out exactly where you want the scan pictures to 'peep' through .... you can have them in a strip or dot them around .... measure the scan pictures carefully and then, using a stanley knife/craft knife, cut out squares/rectangles/circles just a little bit smaller than the photos.

Use tiny pieces of sellotape to fix the unseen edges of the photos to the back of the card (with the picture side of the photos facing downwards - through the holes you have cut) and then fit the whole piece of card back into your frame

You can do the same with anything else that you want to put up on the walls in Noah's space - so it will all match .... you could even co-ordinate his picture mounts with the cot bedding

I hope that made sense LOL - I can picture exactly what I mean but it isn't always easy to explain with just words!

They're made for baby scans... Dunno if that helps.

Mine have been in frames and they have just faded to a white picture now so really regret putting them in a frame now, They are best kept in a album so they dont fade.

I am glad I scaned mine onto the compor they would be lost forever
