An easy guide to framing art prints and make them look amazing.
I enjoy making prints of my photographs because it allows people to enjoy my work. Prints are affordable and easy to frame. I have sized my prints to fit standard frames that you can easily find at Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, or online at Amazon.
Generally photographs look better and more appealing with a mat. A mat can make a photograph really stand out and isn’t that why you bought the photo to begin with, because it stood out. A good mat and frame choice can make any photograph look amazing.

8 x 10 prints
My recommendation is to use an 11×14 frame with an 8×10 mat:https://amzn.to/4y6zwAn
You could also choose an 8×10 frame without a mat. If you go this route, you’ll need to trim away the extra white border around the image, because the 8 x 10 prints are printed on 8.5 x 11 paper:https://amzn.to/4cPZ901

Custom Framing Options
If you want to go beyond standard frames, places like Hobby Lobby and Michael’s offer custom framing services. At times during the year they run discounts; which can make custom framing more affordable. Independent framer’s are an excellent choice also. With custom framing you have a large selection of mats and frames to choose from. This gives you the best options for showing your photograph at its best.
