Create three-dimensional artwork by mounting your favourite mementos inside standard frames - and skip the glass. To make the mat, simply paint the wall defined by the frame. Choose a frame style and a "mat" colour that suits the room and objects. Memento ideas might include old letters and postcards, pressed flowers, baby shoes and a rattle, jewellry, and anything else you've saved for the memories.

You will need:
- MDF/Supawood cut to size (or a felt board available from home centres)
- Fabric (size to cover your board size plus 5 cm)
- Iron
- Staple Gun

Here's how:
1. Press fabric to avoid any undesired creases in finished work.

2. Lay fabric wrong side up and position board face down in the centre of the fabric.

3. Fold fabric around canvas as if wrapping a gift pulling tight to prevent gapping. Using staple gun, secure fabric to the back surface of the wood frame (the part of the frame that will lay flat against the wall).

4. Continue to wrap and staple the remaining 3 edges of the canvas in the same fashion.

5. Attach mounting hooks to the back.

Optional
Create your artwork in a size that you can fit a ready-made frame to the work.
