I go to the thrift stores and dollar stores for frames and you would be surprised at the nice frames you can get for a little money- you may have to buy a photo or painting that is in a nice frame but it is much cheaper than buying new frames- Hobby Lobby and Michael's has 50% off on their framing fairly often too. You could check their sales each week to find out when the frames are on sale.
Please tell us a little more about the size of your picture, what type of materials it is made out of, and how heavy it is, so that we can try to offer you some realistic suggestions on what might work in your particular situation.
Posting a photo of your picture would illustrate what you are starting with.
Hello although it may not be possible now with quarantine-my favorite places to go for frames are thrift stores garage sales and consignment shops. The prices you pay for frames they are pennies on the dollar value. You buy the frame and remove the item in the frame or paint an art project to fill the frame. I have also painted over existing paintings and have flashed my painting on top and reused of the frame and canvas that way
