It's one of the few crafts I enjoy and that I feel confident about the finished results. There are a number of ways you can mount and frame your finished cross stitch projects. Cost is always an issue. Frames and mounting accessories can be very expensive. I've found a couple of ways to cut corners that still produce pleasing results.
Frames are easy to find.
I often bring them home with no particular project in mind. One of the best places to find frames is yard sales. Thrift stores are also a good place to look. It's not necessary for your frames to have glass. When I'm not going to use glass I make sure to spray the surface of the fabric with Scotchguard to help prevent future stains.
