How to Mat Artwork

These instructions on how to mat children's paper artwork come from the Create! Cotton Ridge blog:

Matt Board Frames

1. Place the pre-cut mat board frame on the child’s art (I use cardstock for kid’s paintings) and move it around until you decide what you’d like to frame.

2. Trace around the outside of the mat and cut out.

3. Glue the painting to the back of the mat board frame.

Please also remember these Reflections Rules when preparing and matting your artwork:

• Dimensions must not exceed 24x30 inches, including matting. 
• Paper entries must be mounted on sturdy material.
• Entries cannot exceed 3/8” THICK (including thickness of canvas/sturdy material).
• It is recommended,  but not required, that you cover your artwork. Clear cellophane bags and  clear paper for art can be found at most art/craft stores or online.

Art on Canvas

Art may be created on CANVAS, but please remember these Visual Art Reflections Rules (specifically the dimensions and the thickness of the canvas):

• Dimensions must not exceed 24x30 inches, including matting. 
• Paper entries must be mounted on sturdy material.
• Entries cannot exceed 3/8” THICK (including thickness of canvas/sturdy material).
• It is recommended,  but not required, that you cover your artwork. Clear cellophane bags and  clear paper for art can be found at most art/craft stores or online.

Labeling Flash Drives

Here I laminated a little label and affixed it to the flash drive with a twisty tie. This entry came with both a DVD and a Flash Drive. This could be applicable to music, film or dance entries.

*NOTE: As of 2019, CDs and DVDs are no longer accepted. FLASH DRIVES ONLY.
