This is a guide on how you can frame a football or rugby shirt cheap but if you want a proffesional framing service click here

Signed football shirts and in fact all signed shirts are an every increasing market growing with popularity. Many fans will buy a shirt signed by their favourite player or if they are lucky (and rich) a whole squad. The only problem is most will want to display this shirt pride of place in the home. Most companies will charge upwards of £75.00 to frame a single shirt and this make it very hard for the non millionaires of us to afford. Below is a step by step plan on how you can get your favourite signed shirt in a good looking frame for very little money. Alternatively I also have a number of links below to some recommended companies who will frame the shirt for you.

Things You’ll Need:
• Acrylic box frame
• T-shirt
• Scissors
• Masking tape
• Hammer
• Nail

Step1
Buy an acrylic box frame big enough to display the signed shirt.

 
Step2
Take the back out of the frame. Some frames have side pieces attached to the back of the frame. If yours does not, cut a cardboard box to fit the frame with the sides.

Step3
Stretch the shirt over the back of the frame or the box you cut. Centre the signed shirt in the middle of the frame. Mark the shirt around the sides. Allow a 2-inch overhang around the edges.

Step4
Cut the signed shirt around the marks you made.

Step5
Wrap the signed shirt around the back and tape it down. The shirt needs to be pulled as tightly as possible

Step6
Slide the back into the frame. Attach the frame to the back with the clips on the frame.

Step7
Hammer a nail into the wall where you want to place the frame. Hang the frame on the wall.

Hey presto you have a quality framed signed shirt for under a tenner
