Judy on Sep 25, 2013A follow up to Karen's comment. Old 4-H trick (really old since my great grands are now in 4-H)...after gluing the brown paper to the back of your piece; mist it with water. It will warp and crack and wrinkle and you will think, "What has she done to my piece?" But, patience, let it dry over night. It will be" tight as a drum" and look very professional.Helpful Reply

Matthew Weber on Sep 26, 2013I use foamboard as a backer to hold the pic and glass in place and neatly tape the edges onto the back of the frame (using black Gorillas tape). This works for me because nobody sees the back of the frame. I used to work in a framing shop and we used a special tool called a point driver which you can find here: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/framing-and-matting/framing-hardware-and-equipment/logan-framing-tools/f500-2-dual-drive-elite.htmHelpful Reply
