Procedure:
- Decide which surface you want to use for the front side*.
- On the back side of the paper, draw lines to make a window.
- The size of the window is smaller than the frame, about 27.7x19cm. You can choose your favorite width of the frame.
- Use a utility knife and ruler to cut out the window part.
- Attach a clear pocket to the back side of the frame with double-faced tape. For easy handling, the tape is attached to only one side of the window.
*Paper may warp due to moisture. Considering this characteristic, decide the front side of the frame so that it stays straight after hanging it on the wall.
