You could try plexiglass.
I think there are ones that are thin enough to replace the glass.

I hope it helps :3

I dunno how you have it in the frames, but I bought this one stuff which you literally stick your finished project to. It keeps it from distorting and it may help with the sagginess as well. It's like cardboard with a sticky side and it comes in various sizes which you can cut down to whatever size you need.

Can't remember the name of it, but hopefully that's good enough info. :hmm:

sounds like self adhesive mount board, if you can't get hold of that then spary on adhesive works just as well, just make sure its acid free otherwise as the gue ages it'll turn the aida yellow.

Hey well done! Wish I could get into a craft show, lol. :D

What did you do in the end - replace the glass or send em as is?

I stuck them straight onto the red and blue mounts in the end.
They looked fine but not perfect
