A Beginner’s Guide to Custom Framing

When you’ve been in the custom framing business for as long as we have, you start to become an expert on the subject of unique gifts. At GiftWorksPlus, we specialize in creating custom engraved frames in just about any theme you can imagine and offer personalized gift box sets to give to your favorite golfer, chef, or wine enthusiast. Aside from framing your favorite pics in our custom-themed frames, there are many crafty ways you can use a picture frame to decorate your home or create a unique gift for a close friend or loved one. To help you get started, here are some fun ideas to try on your own:

1. Frame an Invitation: Whether it’s a wedding invitation or an RSVP for a milestone birthday, this is a unique way to capture a special day that celebrated someone you care about. It also makes a creative home decoration.
2. Frame a Family Recipe: We all have those classic cookie recipes that mom or grandma used to make for us when we were kids. If you’re lucky, some of these secret recipes were written down and placed in an old cookbook or recipe box. Another creative project you can do with a picture frame is frame a favorite recipe (or recipes) from childhood. This is a great way to extend your family’s culinary traditions, and it’s also a cute way to decorate your kitchen space.
3. Frame an Award: Whether it’s a high school diploma, an award from a competition, or even an employee of the month recognition, these are accomplishments you want to remember and show off whether it’s in your home or office.
4. Frame a Personal Letter: Whether you’re framing a special email that made your day or a love letter from years ago (let’s face it, handwritten letters are so rare nowadays that they SHOULD be framed), this is a thoughtful way to keep those special messages safe and ready to view when you need a little cheer or want to remember a fond memory from the past.
