If you decide to add a little new to your interior and decorate it with a photo, then you can simply download the image you like on the Internet, and then insert it into a frame and hang it on the wall. But first, the photo print must be glued to some kind of substrate.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a backing made of cardboard or thin plywood to stiffen the photo. When gluing, take into account the fact that the backing must be completely invisible. It is desirable that the image and the cardboard be exactly the same size.
Step 2
If you are pasting a photo on a larger substrate than the image itself, then simply glue the photo in the center, leaving the same margins on all sides (you can shift the image a little up, then the bottom margin will be slightly larger, this will allow you to add an inscription to the image, although in interior design, this is not welcome). If you frame your photo, keep it simple and concise. Most often, a black or white substrate color is used as a framing frame.
Step 3
When choosing a background color, remember that the tone should not obscure the subject of the photo. If the photo is black and white, then choose the appropriate background color, for color photographs, you can also choose a color one.
Step 4
If you like everything original, then you can stick the photo not in the center, but with an offset. However, remember that such a move must be justified (for example, a completely ordinary landscape photograph simply does not make sense to mount in some unusual way). Choose this method for really eccentric photos.
Step 5
There are several ways to directly bond a photo to a substrate. If you prefer to glue your photos, then simply glue the photo with rubber glue. To do this, take the glue and apply it in a thin, even layer to both the photograph and the substrate. Then wait a few minutes for the glue to dry slightly, and attach the surfaces to be glued to each other. Press them down with a soft cloth.
Step 6
You can also use anhydrous glue for gluing photos to cardboard, it is sold in a special aerosol package and is sprayed onto the surfaces to be glued. When using it, also wait a few minutes for the glue to dry a little.
Step 7
Use double-sided tape to stick the image, especially if you plan to remove the photo from the backing after some time.
