How To Frame an Object

Framing the Unframeable: How to Frame an Object

Do you have sentimental memorabilia or valuable collectibles you want to preserve and showcase? 

Portfolio Picture Framers is redefining the art of preserving memories through the unique service of custom 3D object framing. 

Whether it's a wedding dress, a baby’s first shoes, or a prized sports jersey, our dedicated team of framers can help you frame an object, and showcase your cherished items in the most stylish, elegant and lasting way possible.

What are some inspirational 3D framing ideas?

Unlike traditional framing, which typically involves flat items like photos or prints, 3D framing can include a wide range of objects, from sentimental keepsakes and memorabilia to fine art and collectibles. 

You may be wondering “how do you frame an object?” This type of framing uses deep set frames, shadow boxes, and other innovative techniques to encase and protect your prized items. 

At Portfolio Picture Framers, we specialise in creating bespoke frames for a wide range of 3D items, turning your treasured possessions into stunning displays. 

This service is perfect for:

Wedding memorabilia

The 2024 wedding seasons have seen some creative trends in people preserving their special day with more than just photos.

Imagine your beautifully preserved gown or the wedding invitations elegantly displayed in a custom frame. These framed items serve as daily reminders of your joyous celebration and make for a unique piece of home decor.

Baby keepsakes

Childhood passes in the blink of an eye, but you can keep those precious moments alive forever with 3D framing. 

For example, frame your baby’s plaster handprints or footprints, their adorable first shoes, or that cherished first toy that filled them with hours of joy.

These items make wonderful keepsakes and gifts that will be treasured for generations. 

Sentimental and heirloom items

Family heirlooms and antique jewellery hold immense sentimental value, connecting your family’s past to the present.

Special pieces of jewellery, treasured letters and other precious items don’t have to sit in a dark draw, occasionally coming out during family get-togethers. 

Furthermore, delicate items such as photographs, letters or even pieces of fabric can degrade over time. By getting them professionally framed, you can project these objects and ensure they can be displayed and enjoyed for years to come.

  

Military and achievement memorabilia

Framing war medals, certificates and badges is a heartfelt way to honour the service and achievements of loved ones who have served. A professionally framed display of these items can be a powerful tribute to their dedication and bravery. 

Music and entertainment collectibles

If you’re a music enthusiast, framing classic CDs, vinyl covers or even musical instruments can turn your passion into a statement piece. 

Framing your favourite vinyl and CD covers also provides added protection from dust and wear and tear, keeping them in pristine condition and preserving their collectible value. 

At Portfolio Picture Framers, we craft custom photo frames to suit your personal style and preferences.

Currency and Stamps

Collectors of rare currency and stamps understand the importance of preservation. Framing these collectibles protects them from environmental damage while allowing you to display your collection proudly.

Sports Memorabilia

Commemorate sporting achievements and fandom by framing jerseys, trophies, balls and bats. A professionally framed sports item not only looks impressive in the living room, home office or man cave, but also keeps your memorabilia in pristine condition and helps retain its value.

What are the benefits of choosing professional framing for your 3D objects?

Your treasured items deserve better than a DIY or off-the-shelf frame. Going with professional framing not only ensures your valuable item stays protected for generations, but looks stunning too. 

Here’s why you should choose Portfolio Picture Framers to design and frame your treasured 3D objects:  

1. Superior protection: At Portfolio Picture Framers, we design our 3D frames using acid-free mats to prevent your precious artwork from yellowing and we give you the option to upgrade to UV-protective glass to prevent fading.
2. Visually striking:While regular picture framing certainly has its place, 3D framing creates extra layers and depth within your frame, drawing the viewer’s gaze and making the artwork appear more lively and engaging. This generates a stronger emotional connection and a more memorable viewing experience.  
3. Expert craftsmanship: When designing your 3D frame, our professional framers bring years of specialised experience and knowledge to the table. They handle every process meticulously, making sure the final product is perfectly aligned, balanced and visually striking.
4. Increased value:Artworks or photographs presented in high-quality 3D frames are often seen as more valuable on the resale market. Buyers are typically willing to pay a premium for pieces that are framed in a way that enhances their appearance and protection.

Whether you have an exact vision for how you want your object framed, or you’re unsure about which style is most suitable, our professional framers can guide you on the framing style, colour and treatment to complement your item and give it a personal touch.
