It is much easier than it looks (significantly, the hardest portion is just possessing the correct supplies), and it seems SO polished and really in my dressing space. 
We&rsquore operating with Canon Usa for this project, and I utilized my Canon PIXMA iP8720 Crafting Printer because I understood I wished a significant 13×19 print. Totally love how the print arrived out.
Alright! Initial, in this article&rsquos the video tutorial. Examine the written instructions as nicely for a little more facts about drill bits.

&ndashCanon PIXMA iP8720 Crafting Printer
Phase 1: Print your picture. Like I was indicating in advance of, I utilised the PIXMA iP8720 printer and thirteen×19 inch Luster paper. If you&rsquore working with a Canon PIXMA printer, you can just established the print to be borderless in the print set up monitor on your pc so you don&rsquot have to trim off any white edges. 
Action two: Cover the corners of your acrylic, front and again, with painter&rsquos tape. Mark on best of the tape exactly where you want the holes to go. Use a modest drill little bit to drill a gap into the acrylic (maintain a piece of scrap wood beneath the sheet to protect your surface).
To drill into acrylic, it&rsquos ideal to drill a tiny little bit into the acrylic to get the hole began, but then change the drill into reverse and press down with force to complete the hole.
You&rsquore attempting to stay clear of cracking the acrylic, so going backwards and essentially melting by means of the sheet is the ideal way to go. Retain switching to more substantial and bigger bits until eventually you have the appropriate gap sizing drilled for your hardware. Eliminate the tape and the protecting movie from your sheet. 
Phase 3: Use glue dots to attach your photograph confront down onto the acrylic. Keep your image and middle it on the wall wherever you want to hold the body.
Mark where by just about every hole should really be drilled (attempt and be definitely exact, there&rsquos not a entire lot of wiggle home if the holes are definitely off), and pre-drill each and every gap with a little drill little bit.
Paint your mounting hardware gold and enable it totally dry. Mount the tube part of the mounting hardware into your predrilled holes with a screw and screwdriver.
Line up the holes of your body with the hardware and screw in the front screws to secure the acrylic in place.
I am Definitely loving the clean up, modern day glimpse of this frame. This design and style is mild and airy. 
For my image, I applied a photo taken by my close friend Arielle Vey. (She edited it with A Coloration Tale. That&rsquos how I to begin with noticed the graphic and fell in love with it.)
I definitely wished an image that was tender and dreamy, NOT a giant picture of Jeremy and I considering that it&rsquos in our lavatory/dressing space. Haha! Clicking Here for diverse rooms, am I appropriate? 
The acrylic feels weighty and sizeable and for the reason that of the active nature of the photograph, you don&rsquot really observe the glue dots in there. 
I Extremely advise this challenge if you&rsquore hunting for an very affordable, present day Diy frame. It was about $forty to make this challenge, by the way! 
I&rsquove recognized a change in my art flavor currently. Alternatively of wanting a ton of smaller artwork and gallery walls, I am gravitating toward greater, solitary assertion parts. I genuinely imagine that the right print in the right room can tie Everything alongside one another. A home without having art isn&rsquot a finished space! 
Hope this Do-it-yourself is valuable! You should enable us know if you make one particular and feel no cost to ask for future DIYs for your art/photo/decorating needs&hellip we&rsquore Normally curious to hear what solutions and initiatives you are in need of.  Have a great working day. xx! Elsie
