It is a good idea to attach a dust cover to the back of your picture frame to keep out dust and insects. Any kind of brown wrapping paper can be used. It doesn't have to be acid free since it does not come near the picture.

  1. Cut a sheet of paper bigger than the frame.
  2. Attach double sided tape (it is called ATG tape) to the back edge of the frame.
  3. Stretch and attach the paper to the back side of the frame.
  4. Cut away the excess paper with your utility knife.
