Hi! My name is Sheryl with expertvillage.com. Today we're talking about mounting a photo of a poster. It can be any size. Let's just take my son. This is just kind of a smaller photo. We're going to go ahead and mount this on the foam core. The first thing is again, making sure you have a photo that you really like that is worth mounting. That's a very important thing. The second thing we're going to do is taking some of that brown paper that we talked about. We are going to cut. The photo is just this large, but we're going to cut a bigger piece and we're going to cut a couple of pieces. One is going to be about this size, and we're going to do another duplicate of this. You want to have 2 separate pieces of paper. It doesn't have to be all perfect. Lines don't have to be straight. It just needs to be bigger than the picture. There we have about 2 pieces of paper of this size, and that's the first thing we need to do in getting ready to mount our photo.
