How to Mount Floating Frames With Tape or Glue

Mount With Tape

• 1

  Lay your image on the edge of a flat surface such as a table, then place a glass sheet on top of it. Center the glass sheet.

• 2

  Adhere the glass sheet to the image at the bottom of the frame, using acid-free hinging tape or hinging tissue.

• 3

  Flip the attached frame and photograph upside down, then place the glass-framed backing board behind it.

• 4

  Insert the adhered glass sheets into the picture frame, then hang the frame on your wall.

Mount With Glue

• 5

  Apply wet glue or spray adhesive to the center of a sheet of glass.

• 6

  Position your photograph or artwork on the glass sheet and smooth it down from its middle to its edges using your hand.

• 7

  Allow the frame board to dry for up to 24 hours before inserting it into the picture frame. Hang the frame on the wall once dry.
