SINCE 1972
Two Decades of Affordable Framing Excellence
For over fifty years, Hobby Lobby has been the quiet backbone of American craft rooms, dorm walls, and family mantels-making quality frames accessible to everyone, not just gallery owners.
Store footprint you can actually visit
With more than 900 stores spread across 47 states, odds are there’s a Hobby Lobby within a short drive. You can hold the frame in your hands, check the finish under fluorescent light, and take it home the same afternoon-no shipping box, no wait.
Weekly 40% off one item coupons
Every week, Hobby Lobby runs a rotating coupon for 40% off a single full-price item. Savvy framers time their trips around it, effectively landing a solid wood or metal frame at a fraction of what a custom shop would charge.
Scale that keeps prices grounded
Buying power from 900-plus locations means Hobby Lobby negotiates directly with overseas manufacturers in bulk. Those savings pass straight to the shelf price-most 8×10 frames sit between $6 and $25, roughly 30-50% below comparable specialty retailers.
Frame aisles organized by size, not just style
Walk into any location and frames are grouped first by dimension-5×7, 8×10, 11×14-then by finish. This layout cuts browsing time dramatically when you already know the photo size you’re working with.

BUYING GUIDE
Wood or Metal: Choosing Your Frame Material
The material you choose for a picture frame sets the visual tone of a room. Wood and metal are the two dominant options at Hobby Lobby, each lending a distinct personality to the art and photos they hold.
Visual Weight
Wood frames add visual heft and texture, making them ideal for anchoring a focal wall. Metal frames feel lighter and recede, letting artwork take center stage.
Durability
Solid hardwood resists warping over decades when sealed properly. Powder-coated aluminum resists corrosion but may scratch if rubbed against rough surfaces.
Finish Variety
Wood accepts stains, paints, and distressed treatments for a custom look. Metal finishes are limited to brushed, matte, or glossy powder coatings.
Weight and Hanging
A 16×20 wood frame can weigh 3-4 pounds, requiring wall anchors. Comparable metal frames weigh under 2 pounds and hang easily with a single nail.
Price Range
Entry-level wood frames start around $8 for 5×7 sizes, while comparable metal frames begin near $6. Ornate carved wood can reach $40 or more per frame.
Room Compatibility
Rustic kitchens, cabin-style dens, and bohemian bedrooms favor wood. Loft apartments, home offices with Scandinavian furniture, and contemporary galleries favor metal.

A 4-ply mat board is the standard choice for most 8×10 photos, providing enough depth to keep the glass from touching the print. Using a thinner mat board-like 2-ply-risks the photo sticking to the glass over time, especially in humid rooms. For larger pieces or anything you want to look more substantial, step up to an 8-ply board for a gallery-style presentation.
It absolutely does. Standard glass blocks very little ultraviolet light, which fades inkjet prints, watercolors, and even photographs within a few years. UV-filtering glass or acrylic (sometimes called conservation glazing) cuts UV transmission by up to 99 percent, keeping colors from washing out. It costs a bit more upfront, but replacing a faded print costs more in the long run.
Measure the visible image area, not the paper or canvas edges. For example, a print trimmed to 11×14 inches needs an 11×14 frame opening. If you are adding a mat, the mat window opening is cut slightly smaller-usually a quarter inch on each side-so it overlaps and holds the art in place. Always measure twice before ordering a custom-cut frame.
Yes, and many artists prefer it. A floating frame-sometimes called a canvas float frame-holds the canvas from the sides and back, leaving the painted surface exposed. This avoids glare from glass and lets the texture of the brushstrokes show. The tradeoff is less protection from dust and moisture, so this style works best in low-traffic, climate-controlled rooms.
A standard wall frame is shallow, designed to hold flat items like photos or prints behind glass. A shadow box has a deeper interior-typically one to four inches-so you can display three-dimensional objects such as medals, dried flowers, baby shoes, or sports memorabilia. Shadow boxes often include a fabric-covered back panel and come with small pins or adhesive strips for securing items.
Inspect wire, D-ring hangers, and wall anchors at least once a year. Picture-hanging wire stretches over time, especially under frames heavier than ten pounds, and a stretched wire changes the hanging angle or can eventually snap. If you notice fraying, kinking, or the frame sitting unevenly, replace the wire and check that the wall anchors still grip firmly.
A basic poster frame with standard glass offers short-term protection-keeping dust off and preventing creases-but it will not block UV light or moisture. For long-term preservation, look for a poster-sized frame with UV-filtering acrylic, acid-free backing board, and a tight seal. This setup slows fading and prevents foxing (those brown spots caused by acid migration) for decades.
