What’s included in the kit:
- One finished frame
- One piece of 5 sided UV plexiglass
- Acid free mounting board
- Acid free mat board
- Fitting kit (glazier points, a sawtooth hanger, and two self-stick
bumpers)
What you need to get started:
- Your completed 12”x12” scrapbook page
- Double sided acid-free tape (ATG) or photo corners
- 15”x15” acid free matboard
- Ruler (to measure the borders)
- Screwdriver
- Pencil
Step 1
Put the matboard on a flat table surface. Place the scrapbook
page on top, using your ruler to center it (you should have a
1 1/2" border all around). Use a pencil to make guide marks on
each corner of the scrapbook page.
Step 2
Turn the scrapbook page over.
A) If you are using your ATG gun, apply
a strip of tape across the top of the page only (taping all around
will cause buckling in the long run). Turn back over and use the
guide marks to help place the page in the center. Press down.
B) If you are using photo corners,
apply to each corner, and press down firmly on matboard. (If you
have embellishments that extend to the corner edges of your page, you are better
off using the ATG tape).
Step 3
Place the plexiglass cube on top of your page and gently peel off the sheet (some frame kits may come without the sheet) pulling from each of the corners into the center. *Remove rings and/or bracelets, as they can scratch the surface.
Step 4
Take your frame and place on top of the plexiglass.
Step 5
Slide your fingers under each side of the frame and flip the frame
over so that that you now have the back of the matboard facing
up. Place the acid free backing board on top.
Step 6
Using a screwdriver, shimmy four glazier points into each side of the frame (for smaller frame, use three glazier points).
Step 7
Place the sawtooth hanger in the center of the frame. Tap gently into place with hammer.
Step 8
Attach the self-sticking bumper pads to the bottom two corners
of the frame.
