Now comes the final touches. Here you may wish to use backing nails or Flexipoints (bendable tabs). These are special type of nails that are inserted in the back of the frame that will secure the glass, matt, and picture in the frame. Before you place your picture in the frame, make sure to cover it with a layer of brown backing paper or backing tape. This will protect the picture. Once you place this backing paper into the frame and put the picture in place, you attach the hangers and wire so you can hang the picture on the wall.

When you are ready to complete the frame, you need to place glass in the frame to protect the picture. To do this you must make sure the glass is the correct size. If you wish to cut the glass yourself make sure to use a good glass cutter or you could cause injury to yourself and have a glass that won’t fit right.
