Topic tags/keywords: question arts and crafts

Hello all,

I am doing some research for the next projects which will be picture frames that will be given as Christmas gifts. Can anyone give any recommendations on the best/cheapest place to go to find picture frame supplies, such as glass, backing or clamps to hold the backing? Thanks in advance for any help.

http://www.framingsupplies.com/ or this website http://www.123frame.net/accessories.html

They cover a lot of supplies and you should be able to find what you need. My wife does a lot of framing and uses both of these places. I just supply the wood.

Glass is usually cheapest at a local glass shop and they cut custom sizes at no extra cost. If you have a “Michaels” or a “Hobby Lobby” near by they carry a bunch of matts and backing material. I often buy my matts at a local gallery. Buy a whole sheet and cut out what you need.

Buy glass locally.

For frame-making hardware and gadgets, look here:
