How to frame your GICLEE ART PRINTS like a pro ✸ Art Framing Tutorial
A collector requested two large framed giclee prints of my fashion illustrations and since I never showed you how I frame my prints, I thought it’d be fun to make this video. Watch the video above for a full description on how to frame your giclee print or read the tips below.
Disclaimer: If you do have the option to let your art be professionally framed I would definitely recommend doing that. I'm an artist that frames their work sometimes, but I'm not a professional framer and also don't have all the equipment they do.

✸ Always frame your giclee prints behind glass and with a matt, so it keeps its distance from the glass. This way you’ll ensure the longevity of your beautiful giclee print. Optional is framing it in museum glass, which is non-reflective (don’t confuse this with non-reflective glass because that’s a matt look and I personally don’t prefer it).
✸ Thoroughly clean the surface you’re framing your prints, you don’t want any smudges on there!
✸Place the matt upside down on your surface and place the print behind the matt. Measure if it’s the right distance on all four corners.
✸ Tape the giclee print to the matt with acid-free tape. I only tape it at the top and depending on the size of the print also on the sides. You can let the giclee print ‘hang’ in the frame.
✸ Turn the giclee print and matt around and check if it still has the right measurements.
✸ Remove the backing of the frame and clean the glass with a clean microfiber cloth (no dust!) or with a can of compressed air.
✸ Place the matt and print in the frame and check if there’s still no dust (this may take a few turns).
✸ Once you’re happy with the placement and there’s no dust on your giclee print, place acid free paper behind the matt and replace the backing of the frame.
✸ Admire your beautifully framed giclee print!
