How to frame our 12x16 posters
September 05, 2014
So you found a print you love, but searching for a frame and figuring out what size you need makes you a little bonkers, right?
Here is what I do to determine what size frame I'll need:
1. Decide on whether or not the art will look better with a mat. If there's no mat your frame will simply be the size of your picture.
2. How much space should the mat take up around the picture (I usually choose 1.5"-2")
3. A 2" wide mat adds 2" to each size of your picture
4. Mat size + picture size = frame size (ie, (12"+4=16) + (16"+4=20) = 16" x 20" frame
The good news is, we specifically design all our prints with frame size in mind. If you live close to a Michael's or an IKEA, you're set. If not, there are some good online options for frames as well - we find nice, inexpensive choices on Amazon, and AI Friedman, Aaron Brothers and Fast Frames. If you want something totally custom (that won't break the bank), arttoframes.com is a great place to look.
See, it's not so hard after all : )

Hi, I was wondering what the dimensions are on your 1-2-3 cards so i can buy frames.
Thanks!
