I envisioned our engagement photos to be pieces of artwork and wanted to showcase that at our wedding. I decided to create sign-able artwork for our home that will hang for years to come. My step-dad and master carpenter helped me out with this project.
You will need:
-photo of choice (the one pictured is an 8x10)
-a frame (the one pictured is 18x24)
-a mat ($8 at Michaels and enough material for 2 18x24 frames)
-exacto knife
-ruler or straightedge
- Trace with the lightest number pencil.
- Cut multiple times against a straight edge.
- Cut on top of a wood surface; when you hear the knife cut through the wood you've done your job.
- Always cut on the inside, meaning, if your hand accidentally moves it cuts into the space you will be throwing away rather than the side people will sign.
2. Place down the mat, photo, glass and then backing. This way people can sign the mat during cocktail hour.
When we hang the frame at home, we'll put the glass down first to protect the signatures.
