How to Frame a Picture/Material required

When selecting a frame, decide on the colour, window size and area of the mount. (A pale colour makes the picture look larger; a dark colour makes the picture look smaller). Normally, a frame is sold in a long strip which needs to be cut to size.

You will also need:

• Glass
• Matt board
• Foam core
• Sealing tape
• Wood glue
• Pins for securing the backing to the frame
• Eyelets
• Nylon cord
