Framing Pennants

[UnVme7]

Go to your local craft store and get it framed when they're having a sale for around $60.

This was done before I got it but it's a nice inexpensive shadow box. And this is the Larger, Premium Fergusons banner....(at least I think it is)

Depending on the pennant and its value, I would think long and hard about doing this.

Rob... Good advice.

Also... You really did a great job with that Indians Pennant. (I keep going back and looking at it)

That matting really picks up the facial skin tones of the 9 Indians. I don't think it could have been done any nicer. Just beautiful work!

Mark's method is the best value (look+price), but Rob D's approach is what I take for my best pieces. It's expensive $300+, but really worth it if the pennant will be a centerpiece.

Mike...

Ditto (for your mat perfectly complimenting the Tiger Pennant). Perfect choice... Gorgeous!

I've personally never framed pennants, just old photos and I've had great luck.

Thanks for the kind words on the Indians pennant. The Naps pennant below is the other one that I had framed. Sorry for the crappy, smart-phone photo.

Mike is spot-on regarding the expense of going this route. There's so much wasted space, and it's annoying to have to pay for it.

Great thoughts and examples guys. I appreciate the conversation. Perez- thanks for sharing. I recall some of your pennants in previous threads and was interested in what you had done.

I have never had a pennant framed.

For my best pennants, I simply put them into a soft pennant sleeve and then into a hard pennant toploader. I display them in places where sunlight is avoided.

This protects them well enough for me.

Haven't framed any of mine yet but appreciate this thread as it is helpful. I can't get over the wasted space in the rectangular framing styles. If I were to go with professional framing I believe I would have to go with a custom triangular frame or mount complimentary items around the piece. The blank spaces detract too much IMHO.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the input. Decided to go with a frame the has an aged look, not to double mat and tried to pick up a bit of the lighter color in the pants in the mat. Decided against thread, instead went with a taped back in just a couple of spots.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and sharing your examples.

Cheers,
Barry
