Framing a T-Shirt

[Raidra]

I have an adult large t-shirt that I want to frame, but only for a fairly small part of it. Is there any other way to do it besides cutting it up? I'd really rather not ruin the shirt, but I don't want a huge frame for a mostly boring shirt.

Thanks!

Can you fold it in a way that shows the part of the shirt you want framed? You could put it in a shadow box. At work, we have a shadow box with a nurse's white coat folded so his name is showing, stethoscope and the suspenders he always wore. He passed away and it's in his memory. It's not a really large shadow box, so I imagine you could get a much smaller shadow box for a t-shirt that is folded.

Along the same lines as randomkid, how about using a piece of cardboard cut to fit the frame. Position the part you want shown in front of the cardboard and get it nice and smooth. The rest of the shirt goes behind the cardboard (between the cardboard and the backside of the frame) so you don't see it.
