So, I'm looking to make a gift for one of my friends that is an 8 1/2 x 11 autographed setlist from a concert that we went to, along with a few prints that I took. I am having a really tough time finding a frame with 8 1/2 x 11 and more smaller photos. Has anyone seen anything like this?
@musicguy1982 Do you have a Target nearby? I know the ones here have a pretty good selection of multiple-photo frames. Although - the 8.5x11 size is going to be tricky. Do you have time/funds to take it somewhere like Hobby Lobby or Michaels, someplace they can do matting and custom framing?
You could get one custom cut.I have had them done at Michaels craft stores and for something basic I think it may be around $20. If you don't want to do custom, try looking for a frame with a document matting. I believe most people use them for diplomas and such but I think it is a standard 8.5 x 11 opening. Good luck!
www.americanframe.com has some great quality frames, expensive and in-expensive, wood, metal and will cut your matte to fit....check them out! You can order it complete or put it together yourself (it's easy, a couple of screws) It will be cheaper than micheals or another similar frame shop, at least in my experience.
About the only kind of 8.5 x 11 frames I've found are document/certificate frames. The standard is 8 x 10, yet that doesn't seem to be the standard photo size from a camera before cropping. Doesn't make sense to me!
@musicguy1982 The A. C. Moore by me is constantly putting coupons out for their custom framing. If you're not doing anything fancy as far as matting goes and choose a basic frame, I don't think it would be all that expensive and it would certainly preserve the autographed picture as the collectible that it is.
I see you live in the States. A great local company with online ordering - Documounts (documounts.com) cuts frames to order size. I get a lot of frames there. They've had free shipping recently, but I think it may have expired a few days ago.
