Has anyone made custom picture frames before? I just bought two massive pictures that I need framed. I went to almost every store and couldn't find a frame that fit. One store would custom make the frame but it was going to cost 495$.

I bought the Abbey Road cover picture in 40x58 and I bought an artsy picture of New York in the size 55x40.

They are the perfect size for the new house we got and I need frames for them.

There is a 60% sale off the custom frame this weekend which would be 200$ but I'm wondering if there was a way I could do it myself cheaper. I'm not really particular whether it be glass, plexiglas or whatever else you toss a frame. I just want it to be covered so it doesn't get ruined.

Since those are just some cheap college wall decorations, just laminated them and call it a day.

Even cheap pictures look nice in a frame! I hate when posters are just pinned up on a wall. My recent purchases:

I didn't even think of lamination though. Well done.
