Sweet Mike ordered it for me as a present and when it came I couldn't wait to get it hung up. It comes with little tree stickers you put on when you've visited each park; they're very cute. It's 11 x 17 which is a standard size paper, but apparently not a standard size frame. When I checked at hobby lobby, just the frame itself (no glass, backing, or framing) was going to cost over $50. Eek! I decided I'd try my hand a making a frame-like-thing, so I bought this piece of pretty trim from Home Depot for $16 and went to town.
Mike actually cut it out for me using a miter box and I just assembled the four sides using wood glue and a staple gun. I decided to piece a fabric background on which to float the print (kind of like a mat, and decided to just sew down the print itself rather than trying to deal with glue and the potential for it to fall off or peel at the corners. Such a fun alternative to traditional framing!
After finishing it, I put on the tree stickers for the parks I've visited; they're the colors of the words "national parks" at the top of my print, so look fun and bright on the print. In spite of my best efforts, I've only been to about a third of them. I see lots of camping trips in our future!
