Front “frame” part of mat
Some mats are 2-pieces and have a
“frame” and a “back.” This is the
“back” of a 2-piece mat
Student artwork
Masking tape
1. Put 2 pieces of tape on
the edges of your artwork.
Sticky-side facing you
(up)
2. Flip the frame
part of the mat over so you
are looking at the back. Place
the artwork into the frame
face-down
3. Push down on the tape to stick it to
the mat. Add a few more pieces of
tape for security.
If using a 1-piece mat, skip to step 7.
4. If your mat has 2 pieces: “Roll” a few pieces of
tape; sticky-side out. Affix them to the edges of
the mat.
5.If your mat has 2 pieces: Place the back side of the mat on top
of the sticky rolled tape.
6. If your mat
has 2 pieces: Push and
smooth the back mat

with the student’s
name on the back

Show label tag to the bottom
right-hand corner of the
mat.
