Framing Tips

 

 

 

 

 

Place a clean dry towel or other cloth on a flat surface.

Clean glass and place in frame.

 

 

 

 

Place artwork in frame

 

If the artwork is too deep for the frame, offset clips can be used to allow for extra depth.

 

They can also be use if the frame is too deep for the artwork.

 

They come in a variety of sizes from 1/8 to 3/4 inch.

Secure the clips with #6 or other wood screws.

 

Use four clips for a 8x10 and six to eight clips for larger sizes.

 

Once the clips are secure the back may be covered with craft paper to form a dust cover.

 

Attach a hanger to the back of the frame. Use either a sawtooth hanger or picture wire.
