Charity shops are havens for cheap frames. I've picked up a few and they cost a couple of dollars each.
I do frame my own using acid free foam core from Michaels then I lace it with crochet cotton. Glass is not as expensive if you take it to someone that specializes in glass and mirrors. They even filed the edges of my glass so I wouldn't cut myself! Don't forget to take the frame(s).
Do remember though when buying a frame there is enough space for the glass, mat and foam core. You don't want to have your stitching touching the glass! So about 1/2" or just over a cm. The more space the better. Paper backing to seal the back can be purchased at a dollar store in the wrapping department, it will be a rolled tube if your store carries it, they do occasionally carry foam core too. It's the old fashioned paper wrap used to ship packages....... stay away from the post office though, they are expensive, but UPS store may have it. Call and ask to save yourself the trip! |
