I always envisioned swapping out the photos, but was disappointed when I got home and realized that it wasn't meant for that. So in the closet they went until I pulled them out a couple of days ago. <br /><br />We've been traveling a lot lately and I wanted a way to display my own photography. Time to dust off the Erikslund frames. <br /><br />First I resized the photos I wanted to 7.5" x 7.5 inches and printed it out on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Glossy-Inches-Sheets-2311B023/dp/B0014WJYOG?ie=UTF8&tag=ikeahacker-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">photo paper</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ikeahacker-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0014WJYOG" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />. <br /><br />Using a flathead screwdriver, I pried off the staples on the back of the frame. <br /><br />Using photo safe adhesive, I carefully aligned my photos. I chose to print them larger than the original images because I wanted them to bleed past the squares when you look at the frames (does that make sense?). <br /><br />Next I restapled the backing onto the frame. Now some of my favorite shots are displayed properly.<br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFWpdu45jASgb6FGDyPu_eglLf5F0S-ibZaaw2SWS-XA1lRPqKvq4iHbAn1mtRcaang3hG_AuUixwalHaOxzqwcqaf0SLH8BYB5pFZ1W1L_QF_DDPHES-qc31uXz635V4iLAYhHrPt4C1/s1600/rsz_1dsc_0322-780487.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560855569781893554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFWpdu45jASgb6FGDyPu_eglLf5F0S-ibZaaw2SWS-XA1lRPqKvq4iHbAn1mtRcaang3hG_AuUixwalHaOxzqwcqaf0SLH8BYB5pFZ1W1L_QF_DDPHES-qc31uXz635V4iLAYhHrPt4C1/s640/rsz_1dsc_0322-780487.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />~ Jessica Summers, Illesheim, Germany
