Cheap/easy way to frame needlework

Use a 1/4 sheet scrap of plywood and foam cut the finished size of the needlework as a base and staple the work to them on the backside Then glue a 1/2-inch or smaller heavy ribbon or binding to trim around the edge of the base. For a hanger get a small decorative brass screw in hanger and put it in the center. Or use two of them for a larger piece. Carefully cut away the excess canvas on the backside so it will hang flatly on the wall. Katie Hamilton
