To complete your framing job, apply a border of double-faced tape to the back side of the frame [Photo H|. Then create a dust cover by laying a single piece of kraft paper flat on the tape and trim off the excess paper (Photo I].

Quick Tip! Skip the spritz. Framers

used to mist the dust cover with water to make it drum-tight when dry. But they now discourage the practice to avoid potential damage to the art.

Finally, attach hangers and braided wire to the back of the frame [Photo J|. Wrap the wire through the hanger and then around itself for about 2". Don't wrap it too tight or too loose. The top of the wire should be about 20 percent of the way down from the top of the frame when the picture hangs on the wall. V
