Make sure one of the hanging attachment on the backboard is located at the top of the puzzle or it will be upside down. The uncut mat gives you a relatively large working area so you can center the artwork or mount it off center to give your piece a more modern look with a heavier weighted side.

If you go any higher the viewer s eye will just go to the wall not the picture. If hanging a picture over a sofa don t leave a lot of wall space between sofa and picture. Use a d ring on each side of a frame for secure picture hanging. Hold the ribbon strand in place for one minute.
