My all time favorite option for mounting pictures is -
mounting to Acrylic with stand offs. Leave a 2 inch boarder all the way around the art.. it looks great.

attached are several we did for conagra mills. They're a bit more pricey.. but well worth the money to certain high end customers.

how do you guys fold/cut the corners to keep them down tight? i dont think i would do this for work but I need to decorate my new house lol

Those acrylic mounts look great! Polishing the edges really makes them look slick.

FS-Keith: Not sure what method you're referring to.

the pictures phototec posted with the wood frames. what kind of cuts to make to fold those corners down tight

 

[Colin]

Those are canvas prints. They are "wrapped" onto a "stretcher bar" (which is not just a plain old wooden frame), then stapled. Whole other subject.

 

[FS-Keith]

yea i knew they were canvas, probably just like stretching an awning

Well I've been having lots of fun with making these framed pictures. I got some used frames from the thrift shops, taking them apart and refurbishing them.

From this old piece of junk to this....

(please don't ask which one is which) :Big Laugh
