ok, i got 11 dollars...would it be more than that after 40 percent off?

12/27/2007 6:54:55 PM

depends on what kind you get--you can spend anywhere from $10-200 having a picture framed

12/27/2007 6:56:37 PM

i just need a frame to put a 18x24 puzzle in

12/27/2007 6:57:17 PM

oh, nah, it should easily be under $20

12/27/2007 6:57:46 PM

ok guess i'll make the trip

12/27/2007 7:01:28 PM

dude..i so have one....

12/27/2007 7:06:30 PM

beckers you are so freaking awesome...you busy now?

12/27/2007 7:08:14 PM

this cant end well

12/27/2007 7:09:06 PM

if by not ending well you mean my puzzle has a picture frame , then yes, it cant end well

12/27/2007 7:13:34 PM

i dont think i'm gonna be able to use beckers frame...the backing+ the puzzle is too thick for the border pieces to slide in gonna keep trying

12/27/2007 8:51:19 PM

damn...how thick is that puzzle? put some muscle into it

12/27/2007 8:55:00 PM

i did! haha i just buttered up one of the pieces...gonna see if its slick enough...i tore a piece of the puzzle, but if i get the piece on it will just press it down and not be that noticeable

12/27/2007 8:59:45 PM

butter was a bad idea...

is there anything i can sub for the backing?

i can get you some newspaper paper

12/27/2007 9:36:06 PM

just glue the puzzle down on the backing

12/27/2007 9:37:49 PM

^^tonight?

^i may consider that

before i came back to the laptop to reply to blah and check this thread, i was about to do plan c, which was duct tape the back of the puzzle so its structurally sound and then put the skinny clear piece over it, then put the edges on....now after ^ and ^^ i will contemplate for a sec

12/27/2007 9:44:40 PM

nah, it'd have to be tomorrow--the newspapers get it in ginormous rolls, and you can get the remnants (which is still a shit-ton) for like a dollar; my brother got some to wrap his fragile stuff up with

12/27/2007 9:47:56 PM

hmmmm one sec...let me see how the duct tape idea works...plus today i got a shitload of papers in my mail cause wednesdays are the days the flyers come out....what time you going to bed no homo? i'll post here again no more than an hour...prolly like 10 minutes

12/27/2007 9:52:33 PM

it'll be a while

12/27/2007 9:55:02 PM

dont duct tape the back of it, if you mess up it will tear the hell out of the pieces

do you have to do this tonight? if not, try running by Michaels tomorrow. I went last year on a random day they had a 50% off sale and bought a BIGASS frame for around $20 (it was big enough to frame one of those NCSU football prints)

12/27/2007 10:01:52 PM

framing puzzles is so low rent

12/27/2007 10:02:38 PM

yeah, I put together a howling wolf puzzle a year or so ago, and thought about framing it, but I dont really know where I would hang it without it looking hobo as fuck


my mom has a glass top coffee table in her sitting room area witha puzzle underneath it, that doesnt look too bad

12/27/2007 10:04:39 PM

^^He buttered the fucking piece trying to get it in and that's the best you could come up with?

uh, shawna will kill you and desecrate the corpse...

12/27/2007 10:06:39 PM

you know they make a spray you can just spray the puzzle and it will join it all together for framing or hanging.

12/27/2007 10:06:46 PM

you know they make puzzle glue right?

i dont think i'm gonna duct tape now cause what drod said...bout to try a bunch of thick newspaper type paper

12/27/2007 10:08:01 PM

use a fucking glue stick

12/27/2007 10:08:05 PM

ok i'm about to just try to do this without the backing, before i do something drastic like fuck around with newspaper...i'm gonna get this bitch done tonight...i'll take a pic too

12/27/2007 10:12:04 PM

I wasn't trying to "come up" with anything. I'm just letting you guys know that framing puzzles is podunk as fuck.

12/27/2007 10:12:22 PM

ok no backing is too loose...the edges dont stay on...gonna try the newspaper...if that dont work i'm going to buy some poster board from foodlion

12/27/2007 10:16:22 PM

ok i should have pics posted before midnight at the latest

12/27/2007 10:43:39 PM

almost complete either gonna buy a white piece of poster board and put it as a back so i dont have all that or somehow attach the backing to that and hang it up, the yellow pieces are folded up post it notes that make it more tight
