Our newest custom framing project was to frame a fun three-dimensional work of art, a painted and lightly stuffed paper fish! The customer wanted to float the fish in between two pieces of acrylic and have it hang down from the top of the frame with a string. For this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to frame a 3-D object without using a shadow box. In fact, we will be creating a faux shadow box. (Check out our 'real' shadowbox frames)
