How Do You Frame An Egyptian Papyrus Painting?
Egyptian Papyrus is a piece of thick paper. Ancient Egyptians used a plant called papyrus that grew rampant on the banks of the Nile River. They harvested it and then processed it into paper. This was ancient Egypt’s major export. Egyptians would keep their historical records—along with every other record—on papyrus in the form of hieroglyphs and pictures. These types of paintings are beautiful and bring back a taste of ancient Egypt. In order to protect them from wear and tear, you can frame them to create beautiful accents for any room. Figure out the dimensions before purchasing your materials. If your Egyptian painting is 30 by 20 cm, then you need a frame that is 35 by 25 cm or larger. Your mat board should be just as large as the frame or a bit larger, unless the frame is wood boarders and glass in the middle.
