HOW TO START A PICTURE FRAMING BUSINESS!

HOW TO START A PICTURE FRAMING BUSINESS!

This business can be started and operated within the comforts of

home surroundings. You can start on a sturdy table or solid

work bench in a small storage area, such as your garage, shed or

basement; even a small room can be devoted toward this purpose.

If you are handy with tools you could be on your way to a nice

sideline business that could grow with time. Many wood

mouldings can be bought at reasonable cost from lumber yards and

can be used as the basic product for manufacturing frames.

Everyone has photos and prized possessions which need framing.

Many people don't like the plastic frames found in stores today,

thus creating a ready market for beautiful, natural wood frames.

Quite often you can find old, beautiful, rugged picture frames

at rummage or garage sales. They can be repaired and cut down

to today's standards. Good frames can add substantially to the

value of art, paintings, posters, certificates, etc. The list

is endless. No matter where you live you can start a picture

framing business. To some, it can be an exciting and

fascinating trade.

With just a little experience and proper tools you can also

learn to cut your own glass for the frames.

You local library may be a great source of information on the

subject. Also, in the various mailorder magazines you will find

firms that offer free information on custom picture framing.

Check out your local variety stores and others that handle

picture frames and get ideas from what they have to offer.

There are many variations and you may be able to dream up

different and better designs.

The frames may be sold locally or through the mail, and maybe

even get you out of the everyday "rat race"!
