Flat items
Pictures, photos, paintings, prints, posters, certificates, ketubahs, letters, maps, newspaper clippings, tickets and napkins. All of these are framed with a mat that keeps the glass off the paper, and for an item worth preserving – with glass that protects against UV. Details on children's drawings, medals, maps and newspapers.
Fabric and textiles
Sports shirts and signed shirts, gobelins and embroidery, and fabrics. Fabric needs to be stretched or secured so it doesn't sag – in the workshop we do this with pins, by sewing or by gluing, depending on the item. Shirts usually go in a shadow box – see framing shirts and objects.
Objects with depth
Shoes (baby shoes too), medals, dried bridal bouquets, devices, toys and keepsakes. These go into a shadow box – a box built in the workshop to fit the item, with room for its depth. A photo, ticket or caption can be combined in the same frame.
Big things
- Puzzles of thousands of pieces – they stay whole on the wall.
- Large paintings on canvas – including stretching rolled canvas.
- TVs up to about 120 inches.
- Maximum frame size: 2.9 metres per side.
And mirrors
You can bring an unframed mirror or a mirror with an old frame – rectangular or square – and have it framed. And if you don't have a mirror yet: made-to-measure mirrors.
Not sure?
Bring the item to the shop at 77 Derech Ramatayim, Hod HaSharon – no appointment needed. We'll look at it together and suggest how to frame it so it looks good and is preserved too.

More questions
Can baby shoes be framed?
Yes – in a shadow box, and you can add a photo, a date or a caption in the same frame.
Can a napkin or a card from a restaurant, an event or a first date be framed?
Yes. Delicate paper items are framed with a mat that keeps the glass away, and for an item worth preserving – with glass with UV protection too.
What's the maximum size?
Up to 2.9 metres per side.
Is there anything that can't be framed?
We frame almost anything – we've framed shoes, shirts, fabrics, napkins and newspapers. The best way to find out is to bring the item to the shop.
