Picture Framing and Printing Digital Pictures

I am in the process of a art project for the house. I want to take some of my digital pictures from vacations that have cool scenery... print them on 8x10 paper, and put them in a collage on the wall in cheap 8x10 picture frames.


So far, I have found some frames at Target for anywhere between $5.00 to $6.99. But I am finding the glass is a bit to Glossy... so I'm looking for ways to make them a bit 'hazy', without hiding the picture. I have done this with some professionally framed posters, but its $$$, so there must be a way to get a little less professional look with either a spray, film, or just cutting new pieces of glass. :-/


You can have a piece of non-glare glass cut for your frame. Aaron Brothers or The Art Store can do that for you. Not sure the cost yet. Also Light Impressions Direct specifically this glass


Also, you might try having the pictures printed Matte instead of glossy and put them on Mat Boards, with no glass? Even cheaper? Since the pictures are temporary, I might not need the glass protection.


As far as getting the pictures done, its a toss up between using my digital printer, a friends printer, or just take the pictures to Target, CostCo or Wallmart and have them print the pages on Kodak paper. So far I'm currently leaning towards Target, they have a special for 2 8x10 prints for like $2.50.
