How to Build a Bar Picture

Determine what best fits the atmosphere of your bar. Public establishments typically have a couture or theme that influences style choices. Home bars are often simpler and up to the whims of the owner.

Select a picture that works well with your bar. You can work with a personal photograph you enlarged, or a commercial painting or image from a store.

Measure the size of your photo or painting. Use measuring tape to get the proper dimensions.

Purchase a frame of the appropriate size with a style you enjoy. Most craft stores or department stores should have a selection of frames. Flea markets and antique stores may have alternate styles of frames. Thinner photographs need a glass covering included with the frame.

Remove the backing from the frame. Place the photograph inside the frame and add the matting and backing.

Hang your bar picture. Hammer a nail for both sides of the frame. Use a level to get the picture straight.
