Framing

I am trying to find a frame for our guestbook from the wedding (which was the fingerprint tree).  Does anyone know a good place to go for this that isn't super expensive?  I tried looking up places online, but of course, nobody lists their prices.  Thanks!

Re: Framing

  • You could consider, which is limited to my knowlegde!! 

    Hobby Lobby

    Michaels

    Aaron Brother's

  • How big is it?

    I second Hobby Lobby.   Joann's or Michaels would be good too.    They frequently have 50% off frame sales, and if they are not on sale there is usually a 40-50% off one item coupon on their website.

     

  • I measured it and its like 20.5 by 24.5.

  • Oh you might need custom framing.   Michaels and Hobby Lobby both definitely do that... or depending on how fancy you want a poster frame may work as well.

  • We used Michael's for custom framing of our Ketubah and went during a 40% off sale or something.

    Ben had a huge print custom framed and it is really nice and it was reasonable--I'll  find out where he got that done.

    The two things I've ever had framed, I used Michael's.  As others have said, they frequently have sales 40-60% off, and that is when I get it done.

  • All of the prints that I have framed have been at Hobby Lobby or Michael's.  I agree with everyone that mentioned the sales, they normally have 50-60% off custom framing.  Still a little pricey (at least on some of the bigger ones that I have framed), but not outrageous.
  • Thanks everyone!  I was afraid that I would have to do the custom framing route....since its an odd size and everything.  But it's good to know that coupons are regularly available!

  • Just a late chime in:

    My thumbprint tree was an odd size too and framing was crazy expensive even with the coupon. I bought a large picture in a pretty frame at one of the craft stores (with a 40% off coupon), removed both the picture and the mat and had a custom mat made to fit the tree.

    Just a suggestion if you still find framing to be expensive.

    That's smart!  I will see which option is cheaper.  I wish frames didn't cost so much!
