    Hi! What size did you end up making the opening for the mat in the target frames? Thanks for the tip!

    Hi Sophia, i bought an expensive silver frame and the corners are not perfect. There’s a little gap in one corner and the other corner is not aligned. Should I expect that when buying picture frames? Thank you.

    Wisconsinite here! I’ll be checking out the local St. Vincent DePaul shortly. I honestly didn’t think to look there and was going to settle for Target/Walmart frames.
