just curious. why did u select an orange matt?

Well done, thank you

What’s the purpose of this?

Thanks for this simple matting frame process!

Thank you!

pathetic music

Very nice informative video❤

Thanks. You do it a bit different than I, but I do like the way you do this.

Nice. Always wondering how they purchase or making it, when they sale on street for a $1 because the prints cost, frame cost even made from paper,.. thx for video

Hermoso, y práctico, se puede aplicar a formatos mas grandes, gracias

This was helpful thank you!

What kind of scissors is that? Mine keeps tearing the tape half way through.

So, who sells that kind of folding mat board (0:41)? I Googled "folding mat board" and found nothing.

The people in this video people are almost impossible to hear. The instructors voices and it is so soft that they taper off to inaudibility. I strongly suggest that if additional videos are done, they should use lavalier type microphones positioned near their faces. Also, lose the background noise as it masks the low level speech and it is distracting.

Would this be a normal way to present a photo for a contest? The rules simply say 8X10.

The weight is smart

and oh! thanks for the video because i didn't know... little pockets! how cool!

soft diver weight since i have about a metric ton of the stuff lying around.... I just started doing my own mats and those t-hinges drove me out of my tree!! I just did my first ....with these things and I'm never going back!!

why the thumping music in background makes in harder to hear instructions

Great video, thank you

The idea of “T” hinges is to allow the hinged art work to expand or contract. The way this video demonstrates “T” hinging makes that impossible. Look at the Fine Art Trade Guild Study Guide or get a profession Framer to show how to hinge correctly.

hello, what material is your backing board?

Things to learn, attaching mat to backing board, does nothing except waste tape, as said below hinges should only be placed at the top edge.

Very helpful , thanks

Thanks-helpful😌

There are literally zero options to use these things any other way 😂

I only T-hinge the top 2 corners of my print so the print "hangs" freely on the bottom and is able to move around with temp/humidity changes once its framed (trapped under glass). If you tape all 4 corners down there is a chance of getting the "bacon" effect with wrinkles/buckles over time with temp/humidity chnages in the home/office. Ive seen this happen and its not pretty for a customer. For the double sided tape to final close up the matted print, instead of using an entire long strip, I use these mini double sided squares just in case you do need to open it up later it wont tear the entire mat: "Reflections Double-Sided Mounting Squares - 500 pcs" . Available in your local art supply store. Acid free and photo safe and repositionable.

The clear sleeve plastic bags from GSA are a MUST for all my matted (unframed) work that I sell at the art gallery shows and street faires' Gotta protect those pieces until they are sold or framed for sure. I ususally get mine with the "show kits" that include the mat, backing board and the clear sleeves.

To hold down my prints during my matting process, i use this: "Lineco Tuff Stuff Weight Bags, Water Repellent Heavy Duty Polyester with Micrograin Steel Pellets, 1 Pound". Its safe and soft. Works great for larger stuff like 11x14 and 12x18. For mounting my prints I use the t-hinge method using the Lineco Linen tape but those clear photo corners are also good. Keep up the good videos.

Not a fan of these myself due to the amount of touching of the print you have to do to get them in, but for a cheap and easy way to "frame" an image, its a good option for many. Keep it up.

Cool. Thanks for continuing to update your website to add more features to help artists.

Hi, are there any backer boards available that fit 8x10?

This is Great! Thank you for sharing!!

Not for me as I prefer to use normal mats and not have to touch the actual image (even though I wear gloves). This will scratch the pix as well but for some people who are casual and just need something quick and arent being delicate with their fine art photos its fine. Also without T-hinges on the back of the image and held down to the mat, the pix will move around and slip over time which is not good looking. Congrats on the new product launch. Hope you sell a lot of them

Thanks good tutorial

Thankyou for the video instructions. I'm about to order a set of the mats, backing boards and plastic sleeves, so this was very helpful

Thank you for the great video! Perfect instructions for a first timer.
