  • Patent number: 9854926
    Abstract: A framing kit includes a frame body, a plurality of printable sheets, and an alignment tool. Each printable sheet has a pre-cut frame sticker with a size corresponding to the picture frame body such that an item being mounted is viewable through a frame sticker window when the frame sticker is attached to the picture frame body. The frame is customized by printing images, patterns and text on the frame sticker of one of the sheets in a characteristic style suited to the item being mounted and then attaching the frame sticker to the frame body. The alignment tool has a recess with walls and an elevated floor against which the picture frame body and the frame sticker register for alignment when attaching the printed frame sticker to the frame body. New frame stickers may be printed to replace the frame sticker attached to the frame body. For example, a new frame sticker may be created in order to mount a different item in the frame body.
