Mounting pictures on wood.

Press the photo against the wood face down for the transfer method. 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. A great picture deserves to be prominently displayed. Wood mounting gives your favorite photo a clean and contemporary lift.

Once you decide how large you want your art piece to be purchase a piece of wood on which to mount the photo. Apply two pieces of hinging tissue or acid free tape to the photograph and mat from the bottom as shown in photographs. Since i opted for an 18 x24 photo i had a 24 x24 birch plywood board cut down to 18 x24 at lowes. 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.

There s more to mounting pictures than just display however. I chose birch because it is smooth and has fairly smooth cut edges as opposed to other kinds of plywood. Smooth the photo from the center outward with your fingertips. Burnish the photo to remove any air bubbles and wrinkles.

The board cost 8. First printed on archival quality paper our craftsmen then mount your photo to a 3 8 solid backing board that s detailed with beveled edges and finished in black.
