Supplies

8×10″ deckled edge paper

Inkjet printer

Poem template

Double-sided foam stickers

11×14″ backing board

11×14″ photo frame

1/2 yard linen fabric

Glue

Scissors

Instructions

  1. Put a sheet of deckled edge paper in your printer.
  2. Download the template & print out on the paper (the template is sized for 8.5 x 11″ paper, you may need to set the printer to fit to scale if your paper is a different size).
  3. Iron the linen fabric smooth, and cut it to be 1″ larger than the backing board on all sides.
  4. Wrap the linen around the backing board as though you were wrapping a present. Glue on the back side only, making sure the fabric lies smooth and flat on the front side. Let it dry with a large book or other flat heavy item on top.
  5. Place a foam sticker on each corner of the poem paper (back side). Peel off the adhesive on the other side of each sticker, and then press the paper onto the center of the linen backing board. This will give a slightly lifted “float mount” effect.
  6. Place the mounted poem in the frame, & voila!
