    Great job! Just left out one final step--the hanging system. You will either want to make it able to hang on a wall or sit on a table.

    If you want to hang it, you can pick up a "picture frame hanger kit" at most hardware stores. These typically include two "D" ring hangers that screw into the back vertical rails of your frame and a short length of wire. Generally, this wire is only able to hold 20#, so beware.

    If you want the photo to sit, then you will need an Easel Back. These come in standard sizes only. You will need to fill your backing almost to the top of the back of the frame, leaving enough room for the easel back to be flush with the back of the moulding. Then you will want to use turnbuttons to attach, so that you or your client can get into the frame to add your latest work!
