Framing Shirts and other things

[craig]

Helllo!!

Finally got around to getting my sons programme, shirt and ticket framed from our 2008 FA Cup Final appearance the other day;



Whilst i think it looks great, it cost £70 so if i was to get a few things framed its soon going to build up!

Has anyone ever tried the framing kits you can get off eBay or i believe in IKEA and had any success?

Cheers

How did you find them, were they easy to do? Did you buy the bits individually or get a kit from somewhere?

Thanks

Craig that realy looks the buisness,
I had a couple of my Derek Dougan autographed photos professionaly framed recently ,not cheap though cost me £40+ each but well worth it .
Would never attempt it my self ...get the professionals in.

just buy deep frames and get the card for the backing from a decent arts and crafts kind of place

That looks really good for just £70.

I've just bought small deep frames for a goalkeepers glove and a players plaque that I have. I've only had one players shirt professionally framed and it was a lovely job done through a seller on ebay but cost over £100 I seem to remember.

Thanks for everyones replies.

I think im going to attempt to do a set of framed goalie gloves myself as i cant keep shelling out £70 so hopefully i can do a good job!

It's not my most favourite of teams Craig as you can probably guess

Fair play though, that looks fantastic mate.
Well worth £70.
