Build a Picture Frame

anotheruser

I have two pictures I need frames for, but they are non-standard sizes.

One is 15.5" x 72", the other is 85cm x 55cm (sorry about the metric and whatever).

I've looked online, one place wants £142 for the bigger one, the other is over £500. A few other places don't make them that big.

This has made me think I could make a quick, standard frame. However, I thought I'd post here in case anyone has any thoughts or other websites to check. I might just suck up the £142

Thanks

Have you tried somewhere local to you? I've just had a signed football shirt framed for a gift. The frame is ENORMOUS at almost 1m x 1m. The shirt has been padded, is framed in a reversible manner (non acidic paper and stitching) , it cost a shade under £200.

Are they pure gold? I just googled, found a random website, typed in the sizes and got a price of about £30.

At £500 I'd be looking for a weekend "frame making course" and go away for a weekend, have a mini holiday and make my own

I think you can make at home. This will enable you to give the custom appearance to the frame and will be economical!
