Mounting Pictures On Wood

Lay your mat on top of the image and center it.

Mounting pictures on wood.

An easy mounting technique lay your image down on a table with the top of the image hanging off the edge of the table about 1 or 2 inches. Since i opted for an 18 x24 photo i had a 24 x24 birch plywood board cut down to 18 x24 at lowes. A great picture deserves to be prominently displayed. Press the photo against the wood face down for the transfer method.

The right mounting techniques protect your art from acidic conditions in the air and from the wall on which the picture is hanging. View sizes prices. Smooth the photo from the center outward with your fingertips. Burnish the photo to remove any air bubbles and wrinkles.

Wood mounting gives your favorite photo a clean and contemporary lift. Mount photo prints to wooden panels and how to make the panel itself a comprehensive step by step video showing the construction of wooden panels. Once you decide how large you want your art piece to be purchase a piece of wood on which to mount the photo. The board cost 8.

Apply two pieces of hinging tissue or acid free tape to the photograph and mat from the bottom as shown in photographs. I chose birch because it is smooth and has fairly smooth cut edges as opposed to other kinds of plywood.
