How to Frame Artwork

Video Transcript

"Hi. My name's Jeremiah Rohr. I'm with The Frame Shop in St. Petersburg, Florida. Today we're here to talk about how to frame artwork. We're going to start out with a piece of artwork that we're going to put into a picture frame. This picture...this piece of artwork has been mounted to a backing board. So once we mount the piece of artwork to the backing board, we've already picked out a...some mat for this. I've attached the mat to the backing board. And this some matting that we picked out earlier, and cut out for this particular piece. Now we have a complete package that goes all together. Then we picked out a frame that we want to use. This is some molding that we've picked out for this. We take this back into the back of the shop, and we cut it into the different lengths that we need to go around the outside. Once that's put together, we...we then miter and join the frames. This is joined with a V nailer in the back corners. Or you can use nails into the corner to...to put the frame together. Once we have that all put together, we then get some glass cut to size. It goes perfectly around the picture, and we then put...assemble the....the picture and the glass into the frame. And once that's mounted in there, we put in the holders, and that's all set to go. So now that we've got it all put together, we have a nice looking picture frame...in...or a picture within a frame, ready to go on the wall. This is Jeremiah Rohr at The Frame Shop. Hope all your art looks good."
