Help!! Framing Ayu Posters?
 

Has anyone else framed their Ayumi posters? I have several I want to hang up, but I want to frame them first to prevent damage, but my problem is that the posters seem to be a different size than the frames I can find. I think that perhaps the US doesn't carry those frame sizes, so I was curious if anyone knew of any place to get the appropriate sized frames short of taking it to a professional framer??? Is there an online site or anything perhaps???

I would just go to an art store, and have them do it. I'm sure it can be done pretty cheap. I've been wanting to frame some things of mine, and a friend of mine said to just take it to this art store.
I wouldn't take it to Hobby Lobby, though. Maybe Michaels?

Your best bet if you have album and single posters which are B2 size (29 X 20 or which ever way it goes) is if you buy a 24 X 36 frame.I've looked in art stores and never found any that were the perfect side but that doesn't mean they don't exist.Also you could get them custom made but that might actually be expensive.As PickleCookies said, I wouldn't take it to Hobby Lobby because they are expensive to do custom work.

Why not Hobby Lobby...I was just there yesterday and thinking about checking on it. Is Michaels better for that?

Oh, ok, haha, thank you! I'll definitely check at Michaels then, I had never even thought to ask them if they could do custom frames. If not maybe I can get one thats oversized. My posters are mostly odd sizes, like 24.5 inches by something or other else...and no one carries that. Thanks guys!

Yeah, someone told me Hobby Lobby is crap for framing. :laugh
Try Michaels or something. I'm not sure. Maybe you can ask how much it would cost to get a custom frame job? And then compare prices.
Thanks for reminding me to go get my stuff framed. :)

I have my Ayu posters framed. I didn't get anything fancy, since my main concern was to keep them protected. I guess a bit of advice would be not to get them framed with glass since if it were to break, it could possibly scratch or tear your posters. I think I have the same size that Ayumi626 mentioned (24X36) I got mine at Michael's for like eight dollars each!

framed? crazy fans haha

but i think you people will take that as a pride

I got a few black plastic poster frames from Wal-Mart ($6 each) and most of the posters fit into them. The ones that were smaller, I had my father cut the clear plastic and the outer frame with his saw and re-construct it. It was really easy.

Envy those with handy people living with them.

Yeah, I asked about custom frames...and the quotes they gave me at Hobby Lobby and the like were OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

Well, nevermind then. O_o

Is she talking about those like...cardboardy things?...cuz those are fun to work with ^^-!!


If I were to frame with those? What would be theb est way? does anyone know?


OffTopic-ish: Do (Ayu's?) posters fade w/ sunlight? ...that's my main reason for not having em framed/tacked on my walls yet..

I've framed my posters. There are few stores here that sell so big ones (these are 60x80cm)

One frame costs around ~$20

wow, those look wonderful!!!

(and what a trip to see my old thread revived.)

an people post there pictures of ther Ayu posters I think it would be very nice to see especially the framed ones

crazy :(, but still pretty cheap considersing how much everyone says they are~

I've got...4? Ayu posters to hang...X_x; but yet, i still wanna know how the cardboard framing works, because my techer's done in on my art work and it looks really nice

I think those frames were pretty cheap, they aren't the best quality you can buy though but they do the job and I'm happy about them :)

Where did you get those frames? I've been looking around some but been unable to find those huge ones... maybe I can get those in Sweden aswell?

I found those from Kärkkäinen, I doubt you've heard of it :e
