Ugh. For my last show I bought a shit-ton of clip frames (like $10 a piece) and had a friend help me cut the 25+ mat boards. It took...like ALL FUCKING DAY. I hated it. It sucked. lol

i'm already ready to give up and i'm only hanging 15-16 pieces. i'm just going to scotch tape prints to the wall. raging brokedick chic.

Two cheap and dirty options:

- Mounted on foamcore with spray glue, as someone already mentioned (this is what I did)
- Pre-cut mat frames, which I loathe with a passion. It looks tacky to me, and makes me think of all the work I matted in high school.

I would go with foamcore if they're large photos, mats if they're small (they don't have much presence on foamcore). Good luck!
