1. buy the frame first at garage sales and paint the painting to fit in the frame....
2. try Wal mart they have alot of cheap frames
3. I make a frame called a "Carrier Frame". It was originally the method that artists used to take their work into galleries, but now it is used permanently to frame the art.
4. go to a frame shop and get to know them. Tell them your budget. The more you go the more likely they are willing to give you a good deal.
5. i can help you a love painting too you can use popsiclesticks or cardboards i always use them
6. Important note: Cheap frames make your art look cheap. - Metal frames cost less than wood - the deep profiles look great on canvases. - Frame shops often have inexpensive in-stock frames in popular sizes - also they often have odd-sized frames they will sell you cheap, and you can get a canvas or hardwood board custom made to that size - Use deep-wall canvas and paint around the edges so there's no need to frame
