Am I the only one who read the OP and thought you were looking for somebody on Gransnet? 😂

You are not the only one!

I thought the same too. Actually, I thought - I hope it's not me blush

I have bought posters from Fy! and vinted recently

I'd be inclined to make a collage into a firecreen .

You can add to faded or discoloured parts or even parts that you don't like or change it as you like .

I'm always praising The Works ,
but I make regular trips there and usually find what I want either to use for church crafts or as presents for grandkids .
They sell books of craft paper .

You can use old birthday cards ,wallpaper or thicker wrapping papers ...the possibilities are endless.
Have a look in charity shops for boxes of notelets.
I've just bought three boxes of them .
Or ask people for their old floral birthday cards .
I find that people are delighted to save things for you to use .
After sanding the frame I'd go for a green to go with the flowers and think about using a gold embellishment on top .
I've done this with acrylic paint .

Lots on Etsy, the ones I clicked on to look at were on paper or card.

Here are just 3

Lots of Boots do them too and other high street outlets.
You could also look at the V&A or Royal Academy websites or National Trust
Good luck.

And pretty much any printer (online or not) will print an image for you onto a range of different papers.

The Range, IKEA and HMV all sell paper posters in various sizes.

You can view them on their respective websites.

Try this link. I have bought from here.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but almost all of the posters I've found online are on canvas, not paper. I don't think canvas would fit, because the whole thing is like a big picture frame with very little space. I think I need something on paper.

I hoped somebody would point me to a particular website, but I'll have another look.

Thanks for your help everybody.

There is a lovely shop in Falmouth that has beautiful thick wrapping paper, it makes gorgeous posters.

Could you use good quality wrapping paper? Or you can tear off a sample of wallpaper from a DIY type shop, that might do.

I bought a poster and frame online before Christmas, one my son wanted of American football.
If you Google flower posters lots to choose from.

kittylester Fri 27-Feb-26 19:32:49

Look on line.

I have bought a few and framed them. Can't think of the same of the sites though.

Try Etsy.

Jaxjacky Fri 27-Feb-26 19:26:39

Plenty online.

There don't seem to be any poster shops any more.

I have a firescreen with a picture of flowers behind the glass. It's over 30 years old and the flowers have faded.

I think it can be opened from the back, rather like a photo frame opens, and I thought I could buy a poster on paper to replace what's there already. Then I could paint the frame, which is currently old-fashioned brown.

But it seems they don't sell paper posters any more.

I've been checking charity shops to see if I could buy something in a frame and just discard the frame, but I'm not having any luck.

Has anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks.
