So when my boyfriend graduated, his dad and went and put together a huge collage/picture board for him that had about 200+ pictures of him and his family ever since he was born. We stuck the pictures on a huge piece of wood (probably about 3.5'X4'). We just stuck them on with sticky tack because we thought we would just take it down after his party. Well he like it so much that he wanted to keep it and have it "framed" or put glass or some kind of protective thing over it. Well, we have never gotten around to it yet, and don't really know how much it will cost, or what it all involves, or even where to look for something like that. I decided that I want to surprise him for Valentines Day and get it finished/covered. I've gone onto like Home Depots and Menards websites and it is no help. Can someone help me? How much will it cost? Any ideas on what it involves and what I have to do? Where I would go to get something like that bought or done? Any suggestions are open please....

Without knowing your budget limits, but understanding a desire to keep the situation, I really have to suggest a professional frame shop.
Photos should never strictly face up against glass, even though that's common. They should be mounted properly and matted with acid free materials.
You might even pare down the quantity to those most cherished pics and take suggestions from a framer.

Take the pictures off the wood, rearrange them on a piece of foam board, get a large picture frame from a crafts store and there you go. you'll have the frame the glass and it'll look good. easy project

go to aframe shop and have them make a frame to fit. you may have to go to a glass shop to get a piece of glass for itsinceit is so large. Double strenghglass ,1/8'' would do it.

Try cling film.It costs next to nothing and can be replaced any time you want.use it as a temporary frame.

darkish or Vegan chocolate...besides the undeniable fact that i have in no way gained any candies or flora on valentines day. I generally only purchase them for myself (chocolate it truly is, no longer flora lol).
