How to Resize Your Rings/ Make a Ring Fit Smaller

Hi Guys! Doesn't it suck when you find a ring that you really like but its too big?! I always have that problem because alot of stores never carry size 5 rings so I end up buying a size 6 ring but it always slips off my finger. Here is a great tip to resize your ring smaller :) I like this method alot because the mounting tape stays hidden on the inside of your ring and no one will see a huge wad of tape on the band ;) Thanks for watching!

How is Hinging Tape Used in Photography Framing?

!±8± How is Hinging Tape Used in Photography Framing?

Hinging tape is one of the component parts used in framing a photograph. The major pieces that are used in framing include the picture frame, glazing, mat board and mount board. That, along with hinging, are what you need to give a professional, finishing touch to your fine art photography.

Frames can be made of wood or metal, and come in a huge range of sizes. They can be ready made or custom made, and each have advantages. Ready made frames are always available, come in standard sizes and tend to be less expensive than custom frames. Custom frames are used for framing usually sized photos, and if a specialized moulding or coloring are needed.

Glazing is made of glass or acrylic. Glass is very scratch resistant, but heavy in weight. Acrylic offers conservation quality if preserving the artwork is important.

The artwork is sandwiched between the mount and mat boards. You have some choices when it comes to this part of the framing project. If you are framing an inexpensive photo that you do not plan on reframing, then you can simply apply adhesive to the back of the photo and glue it to the mountboard. If you wish to preserve your artwork to the highest standard, then you will want to use hinging tape. The hinging tape tapes together the top edge of the mat and mount boards. Then the photograph is placed in between them. The mat board keeps a bit of air space in between the glazing and the surface of the artwork, and it holds the photo in the proper position within the frame.

One popular brand of this specialized tape is Lineco hinging tape. It comes in different varieties, including Lineco self adhesive linen hinging tape and Lineco linen hinging.

Lineco self adhesive linen hinging tape is very quick and easy to use. It applies in a similar fashion to Scotch tape, in that you cut off the appropriate length of Lineco self adhesive linen hinging tape and use it to hinge the mat to the mount board, or you can attach the artwork to the mount board if you prefer.

Linen hinge tape is quite popular. Some linen tapes are available in a gummed form. It utilizes a water-activated adhesive, so you cut off the appropriate length and wet it. The adhesive used in the Lineco linen hinging tape absorbs the water and becomes sticky. At this point you can apply it.

The Lineco tape is also acid free. This makes it appropriate for archival-quality framing situations. Lineco hinging tape is soft and pliable, making it easy to apply in tight back to back situations.

You will want to keep a supply of your favorite hinging tapeon hand so that you will be ready to frame your favorite photographs.

Early History of Adhesive Tape

!±8± Early History of Adhesive Tape

The history of adhesive tape dates back to the 1920's when Richard Drew used cellophane paper to create a tape with an adherent, sticky surface. The first "adhesive tape" was created as masking for use with various industrial products. But, Drew's creation showed promise for other uses in packaging as well. The first came to be called "cellophane tape" owing to the first material used to create it.

"Scotch" Tape - 1930
When the first roll of "cellophane tape" was sent to a customer in 1930, the 3M company was moved to produce a product known as "Scotch", the more familiar name by which the product is known. However, since the early days, the types of tapes sold today are virtually endless in variety.

Adhesive Tape - Uses
The primary use has been packaging. Packaging tapes come in a wide range of sizes from narrow half-inch to shipping sizes which range from one and a half inches to two inches. Sizes are standardized so that they can be used with dispensers. The material from which adhesive tapes are made today are cellophane, acrylic, fiberglass, silicone, foil, rubber and paper, depending on the strength of the bonding required for the particular project. In addition to packaging and shipping for cartons, boxes and parcels for mailrooms, they are used as sealants for ductwork, electrical wiring as well as for strapping of containers and for stabilizing carpeting. Adhesive tapes may be double sided, reinforced for sealing, velcro-sided and foam-backed for insulation purposes.

Special Purpose Adhesives
Adhesive tapes are used for special jobs. As an example, painters often use masking varieties as their guide so that paint doesn't over-extend from walls into ceilings. Polyimide film is used for masking circuit boards and splicing wires. There are also heavy duty versions for stronger bonding of items of heavy weight. Acid-free versions are used to mat and frame pictures, artwork and documents. They are also manufactured for permanent bonds in high temperature industrial areas. Adhesive transfer tape is most often used to adhere small signs to a smooth surface. Double-sided black foam versions are preferably for mounting heavy dispensers like mailboxes, lavatory dispensers, fiberglass panels and large signs. Vinyl acrylic tapes are used by law enforcement to cordon off crime scene areas.

The Many Styles of Adhesive Tape
In addition to the familiar "roll" of tape, it is sold in large coils for industrial purposes, pre-cut in various sizes and shapes from strips to small adhesive "dots" in single or double-sided ranges. Adhesive tape dispensers are usually sold with the tape roll for household and school uses. Larger desktop dispensers, hand-held and larger industrial "roller" dispenser are sold for additional convenience in handling projects where cohesion is required.

A Convenience and Necessity
Adhesive tape serves numerous purposes. The convenience of them makes it virtually indispensable around the home and business. Whenever an important document suffers a sudden tear, adhesive tape repairs it fast.

How to Frame Cross Stitch Projects

!±8± How to Frame Cross Stitch Projects

It can be expensive to go to a store and have them frame your cross stitch artwork for you. Plus, it can take a few weeks before you get it back, since most stores will send it somewhere else to be framed. It can be frustrating to wait that long, especially if you are giving your cross stitch piece away as a gift. A simple solution is to do it yourself. It doesn't take long and will save you a lot of money.

To start, you will need an acid free mounting board, iron, scissors, masking tape, a frame and matting (optional). Before you frame, you will want to iron your cross stitching to give it a fresh, crisp look. Once all the wrinkles have been ironed out, you are ready to frame it.

Before you can place the cross stitching in a frame, you will need to put it on a mounting board. Use acid free mounting boards, either padded or non-padded, which can be found at your local craft store. One side of mounting boards is sticky so that the fabric will stay in place once framed. The reason the mounting boards are acid free, is that the acid will damage the fabric and discolour it over time. Avoid using cardboard instead of a mounting board; cardboard may be cheaper, but is very acidic. Padded mounting boards are great to use when framing without glass or when framing with a shadow box, as it will give dimension to your cross stitched piece. Tip: If you are framing without glass, remember to spray the fabric with Scotch guard to prevent future staining.

To use a mounting board, first centre the cross stitching on the board. Then smooth the fabric and gently press it in place. Cut off excess fabric from the edges, leaving about one inch or less of fabric. Turn the board over and use masking tape to hold the excess fabric in place and to prevent the edges from fraying. Place the matting and then the mounted cross stitching in a frame, and presto, you are done!

Once you have framed your cross stitching, you will want to make sure that the colours stay vibrant and won't fade over time. There are two ways you can prevent the fading of colours once you have framed your cross stitch piece - I recommend doing both. The first way is to keep finished and framed pieces out of direct sunlight. Throughout the day, observe the area where you want to hang or place your finished piece. Take note of where the sun hits the walls and where it doesn't, and place your cross stitch piece where the sun will not touch it. After you have found a place, check the position during the different seasons, as the angle of the sun and where it shines will change.

The second way is to use UV filtering glass. Ultraviolet "UV" light is the largest reason why colours will fade over time. UV filtering glass can block over 97% of UV light, while regular glass will only block 60%. You can purchase UV filtering glass at your local framing store. You now have a beautifully preserved piece of art!

Archival Matting and Framing for Your Fine Art Photographs

!±8± Archival Matting and Framing for Your Fine Art Photographs

If you want your fine art photographs and other artwork to last a lifetime, use the best framing you can afford. The more valuable the artwork, the more you should invest in using professional matting and framing to ensure the matting is archival, that the image is dust-free, and the glass or Plexiglas is of the highest quality.

Professional framers use matting to separate the artwork from the glass. Using acid-free matting will lend stability to the artwork over time. Professional framers also use backing board and then seal the back with a paper dust cover to preserve the image from deteriorating, becoming discolored, and to prevent dust and insects from getting inside.

They also use archival quality adhesive tapes like acid-free linen tape and museum grade mounting corners. When you go to a framer, ask them specifically how they will mount your images and if your artwork is valuable, insist on conservation framing. You will pay extra for it, but it's worth it.

If you want to try framing yourself, visit an art supply store that sells conservation material to buy acid free materials. Never use scotch tape, glue sticks or masking tape on a photograph. For high-end conservation framing, 100% cotton rag matboard has the most longevity, according to the standards set by the Library of Congress.

When you see fine art photographs hanging in hotels, restaurants or other public spaces these days, you rarely see a window mat around the image. I must admit, this trend is aesthetically beautiful. But the reality is that it's terrible for the image. In these locations, no one is really interested in permanence. So if you want your fine art photos and other valuable art to last a long time, separate the image from the glass with a mat. And make sure the mat is archival!

Since I personally like the look of frames without mats, especially for posters, and some contemporary photography and kid's art, my rule of thumb is that if it's something that you think you'll just hang up for a couple of years or if it's something that was inexpensive and you like this look, then go for it. But if you want it to last forever, if it has personal sentimental value, if it's a limited edition or if it's a major investment, then use a mat.
