You really can do it yourself

.
One determined bargain hunter had a plan to frame between 20 ad 30 pictures, and he knew it would cost him a fortune to have them all professionally done. He decided to go to a frame shop where they let customers do the work in exchange for waiving the labor costs. The employees helped him pick out the frame, the matting, and the glass. Then they charged him a one-time fee of $8 to use their equipments and supplies.

He and his wife came to the shop three nights in a row to work on the framing. Because the pictures were all different sizes, the labor costs the couple would have paid ranged from $25 to $80 per picture. At the end of the project, the two of them had saved more than $1000 in labor charges. Since the $8 equipment charge was a one-time fee, they saved more money with every picture they framed themselves, and they even had fun in the process.



All the best,
