Custom Picture Frame

Picture Frames augment or lessen the value of a photograph or pictures. One can go in for mass-produced frames or order a Custom Picture Frame from professional frame makers. It is expensive but there are advantages, as the framer can advise on color, texture, shape and design to achieve maximum visual impact.

Another advantage is the self-selection available in Custom Picture Frames, when compared to purchasing frames wholesale. First, decide whether you want a simple or ornate frame. An ornate frame detracts from the picture, so attempt a simple frame. It is economical also, and will be appreciated by the receiver. Now decide on color, style and material of the mat required to keep glass off of the picture. The color of the mat should match or complement the picture. The width of the frame is important as a decorative aspect and. if in a hurry, use ready-to-cut Picture Frame moldings.

A Custom Picture Frame is easy to stick together if one follows procedures properly. Get ready-made molds and, after joining them, place the frame face-down on a level surface, then the mat, with the colored side against the glass. One can add corners in contrasting wood to give the frame a decorative look. Next, put in the picture and, if required, use corners so that the picture does not flip or slide. Once done, place acid-free paper behind the picture to protect it. The last step is to tack cardboard pieces on the back of the frame to give it a finished look. The frame is ready to gift wrap or hang on wall.

Not all of us have the time or inclination to be creative, and the best option is to go to professional frame makers for individualized framing. It is an expensive preposition, but then your gift is also special. If wanting a frame for personal use, a Custom Picture Frame is a style statement.
