If you&rsquore working with a Canon PIXMA printer, you can just set the print to be borderless in the print set up display on your laptop so you don&rsquot have to trim off any white edges.&nbsp

Phase 2:&nbspCover the corners of your acrylic, entrance and again, with painter&rsquos tape. Mark on top rated of the tape wherever you want the holes to go. Use a tiny drill little bit to drill a hole into the acrylic (continue to keep a piece of scrap wood underneath the sheet to guard your area).

Mark in which every gap should really be drilled (attempt and be seriously exact, there&rsquos not a complete ton of wiggle place if the holes are genuinely off), and pre-drill just about every hole with a compact drill bit.

Paint your mounting components gold and enable it wholly dry. Mount&nbspthe tube section of the mounting hardware into your predrilled holes with a screw and screwdriver.

I actually needed an picture that was gentle and dreamy, NOT a large image of Jeremy and I because it&rsquos in our rest room/dressing place. Haha! Various moods for diverse rooms, am I ideal?&nbsp
