8" x 10" mats for 11x14" frames?

[ampguy]

Just curious if anyone knows if these are available at chain stores like Hobby Lobby, etc.?

I plan to give an 8x10" print as a gift later this week, but would like to put it in an 11x14" frame I already have.

I know I can buy higher quality, and bulk online, just wondering if anyone knows what the hobby or box stores carry. Thanks.

Do you have Aaron Brothers or Micheals near you?

My local Hobby Lobby will custom cut mats to whatever specs you need, and reasonably priced and quick as well. Plain white 12x16 or so work out to about $10 with larger sizes a bit more. One thing though, they are literal about the dimensions, so don't forget to give them the I.D. with the undersizing calc'd in, otherwise you will get an exact 8x10 I.D., which is useless. I usually figure 1/4" per side, so like 7.5"x9.5" I.D.

Thanks John, and emasterphoto. Yes, we have a Michaels, but no Aaron Bros. locally. I'll check both HL and Michaels out. Thanks emasterphoto for the custom info. by HL. I've see them working cutting things, but always thought it was cloth or something. If either have packaged single units, I think I can get it to work, as long as the ID is like 1/16" smaller than actual 8" x 10".
