I'm looking for a picture frame, it's for MIL. There are 8 grandchildren and I wanted to do her a multi frame with them all in. I have a choice of 6x4 pictures (all portrait) or 5x5 square pictures (or a combination of the two)

I've now bought two different frames, and Ballsed them up, I've bought mounting card and a craft knife to cut my own mounts and after spending 2 hours again today cutting with my craft knife the lines aren't fucking straight and I cannot face it again after cocking up twice. I could cry. I have spent hours doing these.

Annoyingly, she's so nice about everything that she's probably still display the wonky lined mounts, but I cannot have every single person noticing and not saying for ever, like the emperors new clothes- it has to be right.

Please please please help me to find either an 8 aperture frame (or a 9, I can add a picture of PIL if needs be), either one frame, or 2 4's. Must be tasteful. Must be glass (not plastic glass). And not one of those ones that looks like lots of frames stuck together. Or just a mount. I don't care how much it costs (within reason)

I have tried everywhere, literally everywhere.

Please please help me and I will owe you forever Thanks

The Range usually have a good selection or Amazon? Lovely idea, btw.

Choc the range is usually my go to for picture frames, and it's where I got my original ones from, but they don't do a multi frame in this specific configuration unfortunately.

I'm wary of amazon/eBay as I've left it too late to guarantee delivery by Christmas.

Off to investigate that house of Frazer one right now!!

Our local framing shop cuts mounts of any size for any frame. Maybe do a Google for your local one and see if they do similar.

Hobbycraft is great for multi picture frames and a good price too.

i normally go to wilko for picture frames. they are pretty good at online delivery as well.

I would go to a framer.

I've ordered the HofF one now, thanks.

A framer would have been ideal but I'd never get it before Christmas. I did try all the obvious places, Wilkos, the range etc, but nothing was suitable for my particular pictures.

Thanks everyone for all your help
