Anyone know where I can get some cheap picture frames please?

I'm not sure if I've posted on the right thread for this so no worries if it has to be moved.

I have some pictures that I'm trying to frame in a collage type of format, plus a picture that measures 16 x 10 inches and would prefer it if I can also have a border surrounding both items. Both frames will need to be the same size. They are of special meaning to my partner and I want to set them off well to do them all full justice.) Getting them done proffessionally is beyond my budget and as christmas draws closer I'm beginning to panic!

I've trawled charity shops looking for ones that will be suitable (they don't have to be identical though it would be nice) to re-vamp and drawn a blank so far. Does anyone know of shops with offers or deals where I can get some cheaper please?

Unfortunately the "Au naturel" near us closed down so that option is not there either.

    Wilkinsons are brilliant for picture frames and loads of different sizes to choose from.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    We've always used Wilkinsons but recently we found a guy on the local market who is inexpensive, will install the pics in the frames and he will even make up frames for odd sizes for no more than you would pay for a standard size. Might be worth a check on your local area markets to see if there is a similar stall?

    Ikea do reasonable picture frames that a very very cheap. I have bought plain ones (the small ones are 5 for £1) and customised them with sequins glitter etc and given them out as stocking fillers.
