Description

Instructions

  1. Small 103701 2f2014 08 02 031040 dsc 0716

    Grab your 2 sheets of acrylic. I got mine at the hardware store and the size worked perfectly so no cutting required.

  2. Small 103701 2f2014 08 02 031047 dsc 0721

    Keeping your two sheets aligned, tape the edges with painters tape. This will also prevent scratches when you drill... slowly drill a hole through both sheets of acrylic.

  3. Small 103701 2f2014 08 02 031054 dsc 0727

    These simple pieces of hardware are all you need (x4): cap nuts, nuts, and lag bolts.

  4. Small 103701 2f2014 08 02 031109 dsc 0753

    The extra nut makes sure that the cap nut and the lag bolt tightly pinch the two pieces of acrylic together.

  5. Small 103701 2f2014 08 02 031204 dsc 0760

    To hang, wrap some picture wire around the back two lag bolts on the back of your floating frame... if you don't care for the visual wire, you can make 2 smaller loops (separate) and wrap these individually around the back lag nuts.
