Whenever something major happens, you can always find it in a newspaper article. Whether it involves sports, celebrities, or a significant world event rest assured it will be reported on! While it is rare that you may sit down and actually read the newspaper each morning, you probably still receive it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a special newspaper article or even a whole page that you want to frame, follow along as we share some tips and tricks for making your framing process as easy as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut Your Article <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step you will want to take is to separate the newspaper article that you want to frame. For this, you will need a steady hand and a ruler of some sort. A craft knife will probably work best for this, but, if you don’t have one handy, scissors will also work. Set the ruler up in a straight line against your newspaper and run the craft knife down the paper. If you are using scissors, you might want to draw a faint line along the ruler with a pencil first, so that you don’t need to hold the ruler in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measure, Measure, Measure <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your newspaper will represent “Art Size” on our Frame Designer<\/a>, so measuring is a very important step \u2014 if the art size is off, the rest of the measurements for the frame, matting, cover, backing, etc. will also be off, and we don\u2019t want that! Be sure to lay the newspaper as flat as possible. You may even want to cover it in heavy books to flatten it out if it has creases from the folding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your paper is as flat as possible (don’t worry if it is not perfect \u2014 we will get it to that before framing) take a measuring tape or ruler to measure from corner to corner. Be sure to jot those numbers down or enter them right into our Frame Designer so you don’t lose them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
