Hi All,

I'd like to make a mount to place this sheet on an 8.5 x 11. The sheet is approximately 5 x 7. I Want to write some narrative for the sheet onto the page and then mount the sheet on the page - put the sheet into some kind of album or presentation book.



Could someone suggest a good how to resource on mount making. I've looked at Lighthouse's website and I really can't determine what size I should buy what other tools are needed (cutter, glue?)

I've used Showgard or Scott mounts for sheets that big and larger.



Get the measurements in millimeters. Then get a package that is correct in one dimension, and which you can cut down to the correct size in the other dimension. If it's truly 5x7, something like this is probably close. Available in black or clear.

Is an adhesive required to close the bottom edge of that pouch? Or is that the bottom of the strip. Do you find any differences between the different brands of mounts?

Thanks alot for your help - if I get it finished I'll scan what I have.

Showgard and Scott are both split across the middle. You can get other brands that are split on one end.
