Choosing A Frame

To help you decide which frame colour and paint combination to choose you can ask yourself a few questions, such as:

• Where will I hang my frame - do I need to match it to the decor of an existing room?
• Do I want to include a landscape or portrait photo in the frame?
• How many 3D hand and foot casts/clay impressions do I want - 1, 2 or 4?
• What combination of hands and feet do I want?
• What size frame do I want?
• What colour should the frame rim be?
• What colour should the casts/impressions be?
• Do I want an engraved name-plate with my child's name and age? Which colour? Which font?
• What colour should the front and back mounts be?
• Do I want an under mount to create a stepped, two-colour effect for my front mount?
