    Picture Frame Hinge

    I'm making some small 5x7 frames. I would like to install a easel style rear leg to hold it up. Does anyone know of a source for the hinge??? Thanks Pat

    Pat, I've made a whole whack of picture frames this way. What I do is go to the dollar store and buy frames for $1 each. Then I use the backing with the support, and the glass and throw away the cheap plastic frame.
    Can't beat that I don't think.

    Lee Valley, Rockler, and even Lowes and HD sell miniature hinges. If you are looking to make the back yourself or if not as Ryan said Dollar stores are a good idea. Also your local hobby shop will usually sell stuff like that.
