Easy-Order Watercolor Frame Kits
Frame kits sized for watercolor paper? What a great idea!
We came up with the idea of fully-assembled Watercolor Frame Kits after listening to the frustration from many of our local watercolor artists about the lack of affordable framing for their artwork. They either had to drastically crop their paintings, or spend a lot of money on custom framing.
We started making frame kits for the sizes that watercolor paper comes in: full sheet, half sheet, quarter sheet, eighth sheet and all the block sizes—all at a price considerably less than regular custom framing. Our artists loved them!
These kits are made of the same high quality materials and moulding used in custom framing, but they are easy-to-use, so an artist can frame their artwork themselves. Our customers also loved the fact that they could easily change the artwork in the frame, if they wished.
When viewing our Price Charts, please note that the Watercolor Kit sizes are highlighted, to make it easier when ordering a standard kit.

Custom Frame Kits
Your custom sized frame kit solution!
If your artwork doesn’t quite fit in our standard kits, or you have a unique sized painting; or maybe you like wider mats than our kits offer; in any case, we can accommodate you.
You may like to print out and use our worksheet to help you figure out your custom frame size, or call us for assistance. Once you have figured out the united inches( one length plus one width) of the frame size you need, use the Price Charts to determine your Kit price!
