Where can I source affordable box frames to display crafts?

Can anyone tell me where I can find cheap deep box frames like this?http://www.kaboodle.com/hi/img/b/0/0/d3/0/AAAAC_SUxXgAAAAAANMNCQ.jpg?v=1276780970000

I'm into paper cutting and I'm thinking of framing and selling a few to friends and family but any frames I've found are around €20 so it wouldn't be worth my while trying to make the money back. I know ikea stock something similar but I live nowhere near it and you can't order online. I would be willing to go as far as buy the tools and learn to make my own frames if anyone can point me in the right direction? Thanks

Not as cheap as Merlie's, but Ikea also do reasonably priced box frames.

This one is 23x23cm €4.50

50x50 cm is €9.50

Thanks anyway I'm nearly thinking it might be worth travelling up and buying a bulk lot in ikea, they have a great range of frames at good prices

Definitely worth the trip. I bought bulk frames from the UK a couple of years ago and the seller included spare glass in case any were damaged en route and lo and behold when the box arrived - all the spare glass was broken and so was half the glass in half the frames.
And unless you were doing really good volumes you'd be hard pressed to make back your money on buying even a second hand picture framing outfit.

Strand Framing in Clonakilty do great box frames - https://www.strandframing.com/picture-frames/photo-frames/box-frames

The Range is now a good alternative to IKEA - sick to death of seeing those frames now! Ballymena and Limerick at the moment but plans to open more ...
