Mounting pictures on wood.

Framing and mounting are the tools you need to make your best photos shine. Press the photo against the wood face down for the transfer method. Burnish the photo to remove any air bubbles and wrinkles. Lay your mat on top of the image and center it.

Since i opted for an 18 x24 photo i had a 24 x24 birch plywood board cut down to 18 x24 at lowes. View sizes prices. I chose birch because it is smooth and has fairly smooth cut edges as opposed to other kinds of plywood. Once you decide how large you want your art piece to be purchase a piece of wood on which to mount the photo.

Wood mounting gives your favorite photo a clean and contemporary lift. The right mounting techniques protect your art from acidic conditions in the air and from the wall on which the picture is hanging. A great picture deserves to be prominently displayed. The board cost 8.

There s more to mounting pictures than just display however. Apply two pieces of hinging tissue or acid free tape to the photograph and mat from the bottom as shown in photographs.
