So, what happened was, picture frames were on sale at Michael’s (turns out they always are), so I snatched up a bunch of different sizes in white.
I was all excited to do this collage, but then ended up letting them sit in my office for a little over a year before I decided to do anything with them. :-/
At that point, I realized that to buy mats for these odd sizes that I bought was going to cost about $44 per frame (double the price of the frames). WHAT?!?! And now it was too late to return them.
Well, long story short, we ended up buying a mat cutter for $30 and doing it ourselves. It was a full day project, but way better than spending $44/frame.
My husband arranged them on the floor a few times and got the layout just right – he’s way better at spacial arrangements than me. I love what he came up with though. Figured I’d share for those who want to do a similar collage. But definitely try to buy frames with standard mat sizes. Don’t make the same mistake I did!
