Craig,
It's not that time consuming once you've answered a few key questions.
1)Where is the items going to hang and what is the purpose? What I mean is this. Is the item the focal point of the display? If not, are you going for uniformity with your items? Are you trying to conserve space to hang more items? If you aren't doing a custom frame, what frames can you find that will fit the item. Are you framing things together? Also will you be framing originals or not?
These and similar questions must be answered regardless of whether you're doing it yourself or going to a frame shop.
Once you know these things it just a matter of cutting some mat board, taping the items in, and putting it all in a frame.
Have fun. LMK if you have any other questions.
Best,
Mark
