Mat for unconventional frame/photo size

[Pilsy]

Hi! Does anyone know where I can buy a mat in an unconventional size? I'm getting a 22"x26" frame for my 16"x20" pic, and I really don't want to pay an arm and a leg at a frame shop.

Thanks!

You can get a cut-your-own mat at Michael's or Joann. That's all I got.

I had a bunch done several years ago by American Frame. I need to order another one for an odd shaped piece.

Ditto this. I recently got a custom frame and mat for a 10" x 9" piece from American Frame for around $60.

OscarQ, TR, I'm going to try American Frame. Thanks!

Also, check IKEA. Since they are European sizes the often have oddly-sized frames and mats.

Ooh, this would be good!  I could use an excuse to visit Ikea before my ML ends...  Thanks!

I'm an evangelist for it! Its saved me so much money when framing quirky stuff.

I will say that you need to measure correctly. Read all of their tips and measure two, three times to be sure.

I've had custom mats cut at michaels. It was pretty inexpensive, around $10 or $11, IIRC.
