Affordable Framing For Your Artwork

Описание: Learn how to professionally mount and frame your artwork at home! In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll show you how to cut your own custom mat and secure your print for a perfect fit inside your frame.

Framing art can be expensive, but creating your own custom mat is a simple and affordable way to give your artwork a polished, professional look. I'll walk you through the entire process, including:

Measuring your artwork and calculating mat dimensions.

The essential tools you'll need for a clean cut (ruler, craft knife, and a mat cutter).

Tips for a precise, perfect cut every time.

How to secure your artwork using acid-free tape so it can expand and contract naturally.

Adding a backing board and dust-proof sealing tape for a professional finish.

This method is perfect for printmakers, painters, and artists who want to sell their work at an affordable price without sacrificing quality.
