Hi! My name is Sheryl with expertvillage.com and today we're talking about mounting a poster or a photo. This is another supply that we need. We briefly talked about an Exacto knife, scissors, a roller, and adhesive glue, but I use this brown paper in a roll. It just comes in a nice big roll. You will definitely need some of this. We also talked about a nice ruler, T squared ruler like this. The most important thing, this is called foam core. The black is a little heavier than the white, but you can do it on white or black. The black normally cost a little bit more if you want a black backing. This is just a foam core and this is the white. We'll show you how to use this and being able to mount your own poster.
