What about brown tape for rear of the frame; MDF or hardboard for the backing panel; perspex or glass? Consider whether you are going to make your own frame, in which case you need the moulding material and a (hand saw) mitre saw to cut the moulding.

Also, the article has a typo, the paragraph under the sub-title ‘Point Driver’ repeats the same text of the previous paragraph ‘Double-sided Tape’.

What about matting your work (watercolor) and backing? Then D-rings and wire? Where to put the wire and how loose to make it. The question of using glass or plexiglass is also part of the framing job (I use plexiglass). There is so much more to it. (PS: I cut my own mats and have found the mat cutter is needed for so much more)
