Ready-Made Picture Frames
Working with the finished product
If you are framing a standard-sized print, buying a ready-made picture frame is probably the cheapest and easiest ways to go about it.
If you are unsure whether or not your print is of a standard size (which can range from as small as 4 x 5 to larger sizes of up to 36 inches), see our size section to see a list of the most widely available industry’s sizes.
If you are unsure whether to buy ready-mades or to tackle the job yourself, bear in mind that making a picture frame can require a lot of tools. Whilst making your own may well save you money in the long run, investing in all the necessary frame-making tools can be expensive, so start off with some basic equipment like a good Stanley tool and some quality adhesive tape.
