Using Glue Sticks

Using Glue Sticks:

Question: I want to frame a picture of a cutout fish that has gotten rolled at the edges. It has been painted by my grandson in preschool. How can I get it to adhere to the paper that I want to frame it on? Should I use glue, or a different solution?

You can just use a good school glue stick or paper cement (found at most drug stores). White glue, such as Elmer's tends to cause the paper to wrinkle or bubble up. Once you glue it and press it down, make sure no extra glue is coming out from under the edges. Then place it under something flat and heavy (such as a stack of books) to help it adhere to the other paper and flatten. It should be ready to frame after that.
