From sports memorabilia to heirlooms, you may have all sorts of prized possessions collecting dust in closets, drawers, and storage spaces. By framing rare items and those with sentimental value, you can display cherished belongings prominently, while knowing that they are safely preserved. Many custom picture framing specialists also frame items other than artwork, including those listed here.

Which Non-Art Items Can Benefit From Custom Framing?

1. Sports Jerseys 

Whether you played on a team or are an avid collector, frame your favorite sports jersey. The custom picture framing technician will smooth out the fabric so it’s crisp and free of creases behind the glass. The eye-catching design can add color in rooms with neutral palettes. To create an accent wall in the den or game room, display your entire collection in frames mounted side by side.  

2. Antique or Vintage Jewelry

Some antique and vintage jewelry might be too fragile to wear without fear of causing damage. Custom framing is one way to showcase sparkling baubles and other small tokens while preserving the condition of each piece. A framing technician will secure your piece to the mat board and use a deeper frame so that the glass doesn’t rest against it.

3. Plants 

Preserving plants in picture frames is an ideal way to incorporate nature into your interior design. If you have pressed petals from a flower, for example, arrange each piece and then pin them to a sheet of paper or take a picture of the pattern for the custom picture framing specialist’s reference. They can help you get the perfect look for the foliage behind the sheet of glass. Choose a wooden frame to complement the naturalistic theme.
