01 Lay the art on a work surface. Place a strip of

wood along the top and measure and extra 2cm

to either side. 

02 Using a hand- or jigsaw, cut three more pieces

of wood to this length. 

03 Sand the cut edges smooth. 

04 Place the bottom edge of the artwork between

two pieces of wood. Screw through the back to

secure and clamp the artwork in place.

05 Lay the top edge of the art on another piece of

wood. Position one end of the leather cord at

one side. Place the last strip of wood on top and

screw together at that end.

the wood on the opposite side, ensuring the

length is right for hanging. Screw together. Trim

excess leather. Hang on the wall.
