thejesseb Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Anybody have tips on how you did it. All the frames I have are 18x24 and I cant seem to find a good way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000000 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 i got a 19x25 frame from Michaels...they only had one left at the store I went to so you might have to have luck on your side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Try and find a size 2-3" bigger per side and get a matte cut, will look a lot nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanRees Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I usually just use Michaels or Aaron bros, usually runs like 15-25 bucks, sometimes cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryq Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 did you buy one of the propagandhi tour posters? I've been thinking about getting one, but the 19x25 size is annoying me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushbacktosquare Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I've been curious about this as well. I have a couple 19x25 prints. So what you guys are saying are I can buy a frame that is bigger at Michaels, then proceed to take that frame along with the print to the framing department and ask them for their matte services?

steviex2shoes Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yes. You can definitely do that. Although i'm not 100% sure on Michaels, but I know Hobby Lobby for sure people do that all the time. Also if you have a hobby lobby in your area, pretty much every other week Frames go on sale to 50% off(its a schedule thing, literally every other week) and the opposite week that frames are not on sale Matting is usually 50% off. Just saying. If you're willing to wait to save a little its a good practice to follow. PS. Matting makes posters look awesome I would suggest this to anyone.

turbobrando Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Depends on what you're framing. If it's a tour print, I like to get them custom framed. Beats the hassle of trying to find a frame/supports local business/fucking up by putting it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
