Cutting mat board 1 around my art.

Typically i leave a 1 4 on all sides. Larger pictures like artwork headed for exhibition will obviously require larger mats but the exact specifications of the mat will also depend on how much of it you want to be visible around the picture. One to serve as the backing for the picture and the other to cut a window frame that wraps around the front side of the picture. Using it as a guide to cut the square into the mat board place the chipboard down on top of the mat board and mark a light pencil line along all four edges.

Place the mat board on a cutting mat. This leaves a nice clean white border around the art. You ll need at least two pieces of mat board. Measure the reveal area you want around your art.
