Looking for a 45 / 7" album frame

I have a 45 single / 7 inch album that I'd like to frame, and while full-sized vinyl frames are a dime a dozen, I'm having trouble finding one for the smaller size record. And the custom route seems to be awfully expensive for something like this.

Anyone know somewhere local to buy a 7 inch square frame, or a larger one that's matted down to 7 inches? Or do you HAVE one lying unused in your basement or something?

Edit: I posted on Freecycle as well and actually got a response from someone with a frame that might work. So I can't report back on whether any of these (great) suggestions worked out, but maybe they'll help someone else.

Or maybe I'll come back to the suggestions once I pick up the Freecycle option and find out it's the wrong size. heh.

I believe I've seen 7 x 7" square frames at A.C. Moore over at Assembly Square. Might be worth a phone call.

Ikea has a lot of small square frames. Might check out their website to see if anything'll fit.

I will measure mine when I get home. I think they are about that size, but possibly a bit smaller (I think they're called ribba)

actually, oui:

that might work

Sorry I can't help, but can you advise where I can pick up full sized album frames locally?

I guess you're happy with them? Some reviewers on Amazon (this page (http://www.amazon.com/Record-Album-Frame-Black-2812x12-22-29/dp/B000GJX9QM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1265924940&sr=8-1)) of the Target product expressed concern about its sturdiness, but I figure for something that's just going to go on your wall and not be touched it must be OK, right?

I've added the 'framing' tag. I don't know if any of the previous posts are useful, but take a look.

Not too pricey, have had multiple good experiences.
