Framing some Bus Blinds?

Post by rudgey »

I have a customer who would like to bring in two Bus Blinds to frame they are around 60cmx30cm. I think these are what you see on old buses at the front with a number and destination?
Has anyone framed these before, any advice, do you wrap them around a foam board like a sports shirt?
What would you charge, same sports shirt, he said he would like Art Glass for them both in a brown weathered frame..

Any advice most welcome

I did a couple of sets of tram blinds that had been cut so only 2 destinations in each frame.
I made a box frame and stuck the blind to the back of the window mount.
I think had a foamboard spacer to keep everything to the front.
On the backing board we had a set of LED lights to light the blind from inside.
