How to Frame a Photo With Nonglare Glass

Select a frame with the backing and the glass included. Look for labeling on the glass that indicates that the glass is nonglare. Frames are available from department stores, discount stores and arts-and-crafts stores.

Remove the backing and the glass from the frame. Bend the metal prongs holding the backing enough to release the backing and the glass. Bend the prongs using your fingers or a kitchen-table knife. Place a small mark in a corner of the nonglare side to avoid confusion when replacing the glass into the frame; the mark will be hidden by the frame.

Clean the nonglare glass with your favorite window-cleaning solution. Be careful not to remove the mark in the corner if you need it to determine the nonglare side. Dry the glass using a lint-free cloth.

Lay the frame with the front facing down, and carefully place the glass into the frame with the nonglare surface facing down.

If matting is included inside the frame, place the matting on top of the glass as the next step. Arrange the photo behind the matting. Some photos may not be centered properly, and shifting the photo will result in a better-framed photo. Place a small piece of tape at the corners to keep the photo from slipping out of place.

Place the cardboard backing into the frame, and press the metal prongs into place. Make certain the backing is in the correct position if the frame is designed to stand upright for display. The backing has an easel-style hinge if the picture is meant to stand rather than being hung.
