HOW TO FRAME

Here, I will show you how to create a high float frame using a common frame from IKEA.

The high float frame allows you to create a unique 3 dimensional look.

*Please note that this is just a demonstration, therefore, the frames which comes with my prints are custom made, 

and I do not sell or provide IKEA frames.

This is just a budget friendly option that works great!

HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

GATOR BOARD

1-1.5cm smaller than the print / Thickness 0.5cm

Blu-Tack

OR ACID FREE TAPE

IKEA FRAME.

HOVSTA 13x18cm

THE PRINT

A6 (10.5 x 14.8 cm)

SIZE OF YOUR FRAME

LETS GET STARTED!

1. Peal The Gator Board Backing

Peal the backing and carefully stick it on the back of the print.

*If you do not wish to damage the print, you can use a adhesive tape to attach the gator board to the print.

2. Make Sure It's In Center

Check from above to see if its going on straight and prevent it from getting crooked.

3. Attach The Blu-Tag or Adhesive Tape

Add small amount of blu-tag and place it on four corners and gently press it down.

*Make sure the print is not on any rough surface to prevent damages.

4. Blow Dust or Particles

Use a air blower or a air spray can to blow out any dust or particles.

5. ADD PRESSURE

Use the remaining of the gator board pealings and gently press it down to secure the attachment.

6. Final Check

Make sure its all good and the gator board is attached. If it looks like this, you're all good to go!

*If there is a gap between the matt and gator board, don't worry! as long as you can't see it when its framed, its fine.
