I have a 39" x 54" print, which I'd like to put in a simple (ie. inexpensive) frame, and hang on the wall.

24" x 36" poster frames are easy to find, priced low, and exactly the sort of thing I have in mind. But 39" x 54" is somewhat larger than what most stores carry.

I'd even settle for one of those frame kits, where I buy two 54" pieces, two 39" pieces, and four corner pieces, then screw them together into a frame.

But the main thing is that I want to keep the expense low. That means no custom framing, no $175 frame + $69 shipping, nothing like that.

Any suggestions?

I would add that I may have to go to Kinkos (or some similar place) and get the print mounted on foam board or something like that, prior to framing it. So bonus points to you if you have a less pricey option on that part of it.

could always try a collage poster, using Q's suggestion but in like 9 or 12 frames arranged where you arrange it like a warhol-y squared setting.

Michaels (and I think Joann) stores sell the metal sides in pairs. There are almost always 40% off one regular item coupons available for them (and they accept each others coupons in my experience). Glass or plexi if you want that will be much less expensive at a hardware or window shop than there however.

I'll try Michael's (either later today, or tomorrow), but I suspect they don't have those metal sides in 54" length.
