A step-by-step guide to framing and hanging your Grow in Grace art print, from measuring the white border to choosing a spot that fits your faith art print decor.
Quick answer
Frame your Grow in Grace art print in a mat or frame that covers only the white border, then hang it at eye level in a spot you see daily. Check the border width before buying a frame so the print sits centered and uncropped.
Why the white border changes your frame choice
The Grow in Grace print ships with a narrow white border for framing. That border is part of the print, not a mat, so it affects how the artwork sits inside a frame. If you use a standard frame without a mat, the frame lip may cover part of the border and make the margins look uneven. A mat that overlaps the border by a few millimeters keeps the visible white edge consistent on all sides.
Measure the printed area and the border before shopping. Frames are sold by the opening size, not the paper size, so a print that measures 8 by 10 inches overall may need a frame with an 8 by 10 inch opening or a slightly larger mat opening. Bring your measurements to the frame counter or check the product listing's opening dimensions.
Placement that supports faith art print decor
Christian wall art placement works best where the verse becomes part of a routine rather than a distant decoration. A hallway near the door, a kitchen command center, or a bedside wall gives you a daily glance at 2 Peter 3:18. In a nursery or office, the plant-filled shelf illustration in this print fits a whimsical green palette and does not overpower a small wall.
Avoid hanging scripture art in direct sunlight or above a heat source. Acid-free matte paper resists yellowing, but UV exposure and fluctuating humidity still shorten the life of any print. If the wall gets strong afternoon sun, choose a frame with UV-filtering glazing or move the print to a shadier wall.
Steps to frame and hang your print
- Measure the print and its white border: Lay the print flat and measure the full paper size and the printed image area. Note the border width on each side. Common mistake: assuming the paper size equals the frame opening, which leads to a frame that crops the border unevenly. Write the measurements down and take them to the store or compare them with the frame listing.
- Choose a frame with the right opening: Pick a frame whose opening matches your paper size, or use a mat with an opening that overlaps the white border by about 3 to 5 millimeters on each side. Check that the frame has a backing board and glazing. Common mistake: buying a frame that is too deep or too shallow for the backing and glass. Test-fit the print in the frame before removing any protective film.
- Assemble the frame without touching the print surface: Clean the glazing, place the print face-up on the backing, and lower the frame over it. Secure the backing with the frame's clips or points. Handle the print by its edges only. Common mistake: pressing on the printed area, which can leave fingerprints on matte paper. If the print shifts, lift the frame and reposition rather than sliding the paper against the glass.
- Mark the hanging height at eye level: Measure 57 to 60 inches from the floor to the center of the frame, or center it at eye level for the main viewer. Mark the wall where the hanging hardware will sit, not where the frame top will be. Common mistake: marking the top of the frame instead of the hook position. Use a pencil and a level; check the mark with the frame held in place before drilling.
- Install the hanging hardware and level the frame: Use a nail or screw rated for the frame weight and wall type. For drywall, use a picture hook or anchor; for plaster, use a screw with an anchor. Hang the frame, then place a level on top and adjust until the bubble is centered. Common mistake: skipping the anchor in drywall, which lets the frame pull out over time. Press gently on the frame after hanging to confirm the hardware holds.
