    Does anyone know where to get frames for under $1? I know dollar stores might have them, but hoping to score something cheaper! Ikea had one online for 4 for $1 but they dont sell online or around here.

    I'm guessing you are talking about small frames for favors or place cards but you don'rt really say. Is that right?

    I found all mine at Goodwill. I didn't care if they matched; I just spraypainted them all white once I had enough. I paid 59 cents for them at my Goodwills.

    I used acrylic clear photo holders from Michael's for our table numbers.  I think they were on sale at the time.  They were less than $1 each.  I also got a big 8x10 holder for our bar sign too.

    @ohheavenlyday: That's not a bad idea. I might look into that.

    @JoJo Bananas: Did they stand up on their own? Not sure I've ever seen these

    I got some wooden ones from Michaels for 69 cents each. I'm currently spray painting them gold.

    @retroindigo: Yes, they stand up on their own.  The acrylic bends at the bottom to create a stand.

    The Tolsby Frame at Ikea works well for table numbers and is 99cents.

    The website says it is available at the Elizabeth NJ store.

    Wait for the wooden ones at michaels to go on sale again. I got them for 66 cents a week or 2 ago- painted them dark gray and put some great card stock in them. I love how they came out!

    I bought a bunch of frames 2nd hand and they were less than $1 too.  That's another option to go.

    DOLLAR TREE!

    Everything is $1 or less. Love that store for certain stuff - I always end up coming out with more than I planned :) You can also order in bulk online.
