DIY FRAMING OR PAY ££££?, by Deleted on Nov 23, 2008 17:17:10 GMT 1, i have quite a few things that need framing but i have spent all my cash on art, do i pay big £££ for a framer to do, or do i source the UV glass and back boards ect and save £££ and do it myself? i need to frame prints and canvases, thinking of box frames, if you know of any cheap wholesalers of framing items please let me know.

DIY FRAMING OR PAY ££££?, by Standard on Nov 23, 2008 17:23:05 GMT 1, eframe.co.uk - only problem is that they don't supply glass on larger pieces, however if you can source the glass yourself they are cheap. However if it's a piece that will stay on the wall a while I reckon you should consider getting the full works done professionally.

www.wessexpictures.com/
Make sure the glass is cleaned with glass cleaner and a lint free cloth before putting the picture in and sealing it up.. even the tiniest speck of dirt or hair can show up behind the glass

DIY FRAMING OR PAY ££££?, by dodge on Nov 23, 2008 21:04:49 GMT 1, Pay £££££'s. It's not worth messing around to save £40 or so. Bear in mind you are probably going to want the print to survive for a long time. Honestly, I have tried cheaper options in the past and it was a waste of time. I ended up having 6 pieces completely reframed by a professional.

DIY FRAMING OR PAY ££££?, by funyoung on Nov 23, 2008 21:58:04 GMT 1, Personally I tend to buy the frames 'off the shelf' (ie standard sized) and then get a framer to professionally mount and hang the picture.
Save a few bob on the frame and save a few on the mount (from when I muck up the mount).
Depends on the value and size of the picture.
Internet bought 'custom' frames don't seem to save so much money from what I can fathom.
