Cheap DIY poster frame?
I live in Canada and I'm looking to get a poster from Zazzle.com. I want to use the US site because the Cyber Monday deal is much better than the Canadian sale, but to add a poster frame to my order jacks the shipping from $14 to almost $95.
Does anyone know a good site where I can learn to make an inexpensive poster frame? The poster is only like $9, I don't want to spend too much. The type of paper it will be printed on is their "Value Poster Paper (Matte)", if that makes any difference.
Thanks =)

Do you have tools and items needed to build a frame? When I was a teenager I decided that I wanted to frame all of the posters in my room. We went to the hardware store, looked in the lumber and trim section to find 6-8 foot lengths of moulding, picked something I liked that was cheap, picked up some stain, and tack nails.
Get home, stain the wood. Brush, sponge, or wipe stain on. Let sit briefly, wipe off excess stain.
Measure your poster, measure inside length of moulding to fit, cut at 45 degree angle on top and bottom. Repeat for other side. Repeat for top and bottom.
Now you just need to tack up the frame around your poster.
Or you could just order a cheap poster frame from https://www.frameusa.com/poster-frames You will still be hit with fairly high shipping, but it's cheaper than the other joint..
