- 1). Select three to eight prints from a gallery or museum collection of artist reproductions, usually found as blank cards or postcards in the gift shop. The set should have a common visual theme to make it easier to group prints cohesively. Choose a black-and-white photo theme or a full-color photo theme, but never mix the two.

Frames should complement the decor style of a room.Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
Select three to eight picture frames with a style that complements the current decor style of the room: antique picture frames go well in a room with period pieces and Art Deco picture frames go well with modern traditional room designs. - 3). Take the backing paper from one picture frame and use this as a stencil to trace, cut and create an alternative backing for the first miniature print. Do the same for each miniature print and its corresponding picture frame. You should have three to eight pieces of backing material. Picture frame backing can come from illustration board, colored corrugated board or printed glossy board, such as the cover of a used notebook.
- 4). Mount each print onto the center of its own backing paper with glue spread evenly with a paint brush. Let dry.
- 5). Slide each mounted miniature print into one picture frame. Do the same for all the other prints.
- 6). Group three to eight miniature prints in one space, such as a hallway, the space above the bath towels in the bathroom or on top of a side or foyer table. Groupings can be done in a vertical or horizontal line or in a checkerboard grouping.
