Looking for a photo folder/holder/frame that can fit multiple pictures sized at 3.5"x5". The pictures are all in portrait layout.

Willing to check out websites or shops anywhere in Brooklyn, NY.

I appreciate all reccomendations.

There are places that make custom frames. I've ordered several from this website and love them:

I guess I need to add that I have a very low budget... Preferably less than $20.

I hope that is reasonable.

Nothing too fancy- plastic, acrylic, and even cardboard is fine

On such a budget, are you willing to be crafty at all? If so, I can think of two simple options:
1. Buy inexpensive large frame and a cardboard mat; cut out places for the pictures in the arrangement of your choice.
2. Buy a few cheap plain 3x5 frames and some strong glue at Michael's or similar store. Attach them together in the arrangement of your choice. Optional: Paint/spray paint over the whole thing in the color of your choice.
3. Look around discount stores, they're all hit-or-miss so just hunt around.

How much is multiple?

Would any of these triple picture frames work?

another vote for a dollar store or walmart or amazing savings version of a large frame that you make your own photo mat board to the size openings you need

I have 6 pics but if left wih no choice I'll cut it down.

First 2 links are exactly the style frame I would like.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply.

I will check out the links provided as well as local discount stores. (I was secretly hoping to be directed to a specific store Hee hee )

I may also consider doing an accordion style album that I need to stick each photo on but only as a last resort. If you have a suggestion where I can get something like that, bring it on please! Smile

BTW, a big frame probably won't work as I need it to be able to fit in with a whole bunch of other frames on a buffet/shelf/windowsill etc. Rolling Eyes

Actually, I have tried googling and asking around before coming here.... Imamother is usually my last resort for such inquiries.
Thanks anyway for the laugh the link provided...

OP HERE.

If anyone is interested to know...

I found a cheap plastic frame that could hold a 3.5x5 photo attached to a 5x7 photo and used that to hold 6 pictures. Since it was clear plastic, I turned it into a double sided frame....

For those of you wracking their brains 2(3.5x5)=5x7 Wink

haha...


Just realized that I really have to brush up my equation writing skills..... but I hope you get my point.

FTR, that equation is not balanced at all.

Thanks Greenfire for you help, intended or not.

3.5 + 3.5 = 7

5 is 5 is 5 no need to add or subtract
