Markie Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi Does anyone know how easy it is to frame a shirt yourself? Or would I be recommended to take it to a shop Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Never done it myself mate, but I know people who've used the picture framers on Gorgie Rd and have had excellent work done there for other stuff (not shirts), and a very good price. Sure they'll be able to do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werwolf Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi Does anyone know how easy it is to frame a shirt yourself? Or would I be recommended to take it to a shop Mark Probably best to take it off first before trying to frame it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill duff Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I have framed several shirts recently, albeit Washington redskis ones where they also have numbers on the sleeves and have to be folded accordingly. There are several ways it can be done and it depends on whether the shirt is going to be worth something in the future. Is it a signed piece??? If so, let a professional do it for you, it's worth the money. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c41rns Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 If you want to do it your self, get your self to North Bridge, buy the frame in the shop next to Schuh and go next door to Millars Graphics to get the mount cut. It's easy and cheaper than getting most professionals to do it. But Bill Duff has a point, if it's worth money, it may be worth while getting it done as he describes. Hope this helps.

Hoping to get a Craig Gordon signed top for the gf (she strangely has a crush on him!) and going to goet ti framed for her. Trying to get a Hearts top to be signed rather than a Sunderland one, not that she will care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Professional job def. the way ahead, although i've no idea of the prices at the moment Cost me @ ?150 4 years ago to getthe strip frames at its full size with the sleeves showing. Cheaper if you go for the half shirt obviously Not cheap, but worth the money though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seebeegee Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Berra got his Cup Final strip from 2006, framed at the picture framers on Shandwick Place. Its the one next to Au Bar and La Piazza, think its called "Fast Frame" or summit. Dunno how good a job they did tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
