[QUOTE="research, post: 9505073, member: 22667"]I have an 1800s US flag that I would like to make a simple shadowbox frame for. I plan on using acid free foam core wrapped in cotton muslin or other archival fabric and then mount the flag to that. Is there a safe, non-damaging method to mounting a cotton/wool flag to a fabric backing? I've seen some people use pins or sew directly to the backing but I'd really like to not put any holes in the flag. Is there a double sided tape that could work? Any other ideas? Thanks![/QUOTE]
