I am doing a county fair display and I am putting up between 12 and 18 - 20x30 pictures. Possibly 27 if I can swing the finances. Due to the sheer number of pictures I cant buy quality frames for them, and considering how damp the building gets each day I wouldn't want to risk damaging that many quality frames.

I read a while back about a guy that buys nice, simple and elegant frames off of amazon in the $6 range *thin black or thin chrome frames* but I cant find anything in that price range.

So I thought I would check here in case anyone had any recommendations? :)

    Probably more work than you want and maybe you don't have the tools. I make my own frames. I can get them in any size I want. They are all made out of very old weathered wood. Material cost is limited to a little glue, some spray finish, wood filler, clesar epoxy and a hanger. You could make much simpler frames that this and just paint them.
