Cutting a picture mount

How to cut a simple picture mount for your artwork For this project you will need: • Mountboard (I just used ‘White’ from papergourmet.co.uk) • Craft knife and mat cutter or bevel cutter. • Or Mount cutter (mine is a Logan 450-1 which I got from Lion picture framing supplies) • Ruler (metal ruler if you don’t have a mount cutter) • Pencil and rubber This project should take between 20-40 minutes. Feel free to ask questions. This was just a quick overview for anyone not sure where to start. Off camera I took my inside aperture measurement away from my outside measurement. Then I divided this by 2 to give me the size of the boarder, so I could centre my aperture. Frame aperture 21.1 - 11.8 = 9.3 divide 2 = 4.65 cm 29.9 - 24.5 = 5.4 divide 2 = 2.7 cm #pictureframing #papercraft #artworkpresentation #mountcutting #essentialskill #artwithtricia Share what you create after watching this video, on the 'Student Chatroom': https://triciajohnson.wixsite.com/tricia-johnson/student-chatroom I can't wait to see your artwork!
