What are some options for framing unique-size puzzles?

Question

I'm looking for options for framing/displaying finished jigsaw puzzles. I have a finished 27"x20" puzzle, and if you know of any sites that sell adjustable frames, or customized frames at a good price (and that accept Paypal), or have any other ideas for displaying them (and keeping them safe at the same time), please let me know. Thank you.

I actually have some pictures of the puzzle I framed if you would like to see them. My puzzle was odd shaped also and so I went to Hobby Lobby and found a frame that was a couple inches larger on each side. Then I bought a piece of matting that matched the color of my puzzle and cut it to fit the frame. I then glued my puzzle in the center of this matting and placed it in the frame and it looks great.

I can't remeber exactly but I believe the frame that I used was 28"x22".

Also, you probably already know this but before you frame your puzzle make sure you go to the hobby store and pick up the puzzle sealer to make sure your puzzle stays together while framed.

I will upload my puzzle and post a link on here for you to view.

Here are three pictures I have posted to the web if you would like to take a look at them to get some ideas.

Hope this helps and if you have any questions please feel free to email me.

i don't know if your near a store called "hobby lobby' but they frame things it's not really cheap cheap but its better than anything, and oh! they also sell display cases (like flag display cases) only they can come in diff. shapes and sizes, or you could build one of your own-they aren't that hard you can find pattern online or in any hardware store
