I have several of them that I'd like to put up in my new apartment. The apartment is furnished with antiques, so I want something that is either in the shabby chic or classic style. I asked several framing places but they are all incredibly expensive. Any idea that won't cost much? I am willing to DIY if somebody can point me to a good instruction. Home Depot stopped cutting glasses so I have no idea where to start now. Help!

Albums are small and you might be able to find something that would work in a junk shop and just cut a new matte. Real movie posters - (one sheets) are big. Typically we used snaplock frames and a plastic overlay in theatres. Backlit ones required the more expensive frames. If the posters are not valuable, you can cut masonite to size and wet mount the poster to the masonite using wallpaper paste or other adhesives. If the poster does have intrinsic value, do NOT do this.

I would head out to your nearest Aaron Brothers store for tip and advice.
