Displaying photos on the wall

[reeljob23]

I just ordered some prints (mostly 8x12's) with a single mat backing. I considered stand outs or foam board, but with those, the price jumps a lot. What are some good inexpensive ways to attractively display photos on the wall?

I'd really like to get some face-mounted with plexiglass- but I haven't found anywhere in the US that does that and I'm barking up the wrong tree there if i'm looking for cheap.

OK,,here's my 2 cents worth..Treat your works of art like you would any decore in your house.. Don't go cheap when displaying your photos because being on the walls of your castle you'll have to look at them everyday,,all day..

You spend a lot of money on equipment and the photos you display are the end result..

Have some pride in your work!!

I agree with the above comment.....However..... I do use some 3 dollar frames. They are the plastic ones that the glass pops out through the front (vs the back). When they are hanging they look a lot like glossy 1/4 inch gallery wraps, but with with black edges. The edge of the frame is like 1/6th of an inch, just enough to hold the glass in place. I would not use just one. I have a wall of about 12 of these in random placements on one wall. It allways gets compliments.
