I am looking for a bunch of white larger size (8x10 and up) frames to make a gallery wall for kids artwork based on a Pinterest post I saw. Any idea where might have the best prices? I was thinking of checking walmart, acmoore, michaels, joanns...anyone seen any sales or coupons that might help? Hoping to avoid price shopping all of them since they are scattered around town!

Do you have an IKEA nearby? I like their frames, and they are reasonably priced. But you need to know what size you need because their sizes can be unusual (although they usually have mats.)

What was the pinterest idea you saw? Care to post a link?

Yeah, IKEA is probably the best resource for cheap white frames. Target also has some.

I was going to suggest Ikea as well.

I'd also like to see the Pinterest link.

You can get a case pack of 8x10 frames at Dollar Tree online and free ship to store, IIRC. (Obviously if your $ tree carries them no need to order but ours can be hit or miss with larger frames) I was thinking of going that route for a similar project but ended up doing the ikea cable/clip system instead for now. I don't know if they come in white but a cheap can of spray paint would fix that. ;) FWIW I believe the ikea 8x10 size frames are about $5 each.

michaels have a 25% off all items on their website right now. I used it yesterday for a 20x24 frame and it stacked in top of their 40% off.

Thanks! Unfortunately, we don't have an Ikea anywhere close. I found some unfinished wood frames in different sizes at AC Moore - I may go with those and spray paint them white. I am going to check the other suggestions first though and see if I that is the cheapest.

Here is the pinterest link...
