DIY: Diploma Framing

**chinbeard** · 03-11-2010 05:44 PM

I graduated in December of '08, and it's been rolled up ever since, so I suspect that my diploma is now a tube. Is it possible for me to fix it and frame it myself? If so, how should I go about flattening it? Any tricks to matting that a beginner should know about? (I'm serving in AmeriCorps right now, and I'm $50k in debt, so I'm pretty broke.)

I would unroll it and place it b/t two hard surfaces of the same shape and leave it there for about a week. You could also place it under a bucket filled w/ hot water (this works for warped carpet). But if you do that you may want to place plastic sheeting on top of the diploma to protect it.

Roll it up in the opposite direction for a few minutes.

If you frame it under glass, that will take care of it, too.
