    I received 20 picture frames as a gift from a customer. They are 70x100cm, walnut wood frames with real glass. Unfortunately, they don't have backing boards. I would like to mount photos in them, but I don't have any idea how. A backing board in 70x100cm is quite expensive. Do you have any alternative ideas for what I could do?

    • In staples and those kind of places you get it in 3mm, 5mm.. etc. easy to cut, and cheap af!maquito
    • Masonite/pressboard is probably the way to go. ~3mm, quite inexpensive from hardware store. Often you can get it cut down for free when you buy it.monNom
