Description
Pinewood Acrylic Frame with a 2-inch depth is an excellent choice for preserving your varmala (wedding garland). The depth is crucial as varmalas can be quite voluminous, and 2 inches should provide enough space to comfortably accommodate most garlands without crushing them. The acrylic front will offer a clear view of the preserved varmala while protecting it from dust and damage. The pinewood frame adds a natural and elegant touch that complements the sentimental value of the preserved garland.
Why a 2-inch Deep Pinewood Acrylic Frame is Suitable for Varmala Preservation:
- Depth: The 2-inch depth is specifically designed to hold three-dimensional items like a varmala, allowing it to be displayed without being flattened.
- Acrylic Front: Acrylic is a fantastic alternative to glass as it is shatter-resistant, lightweight, and offers excellent clarity, ensuring your varmala is clearly visible and protected. It also often has UV-protective properties, which can help prevent the colors of the flowers from fading over time.
- Pinewood Frame: Pinewood offers a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing frame. It has a natural look that can blend well with various home décor styles. You can also often paint or stain pinewood to match your specific preferences.
- Preservation: Encasing the varmala in a sealed frame helps to protect it from dust, humidity, and potential damage from handling, which are crucial for long-term preservation.
Things to Consider for Varmala Preservation in such a Frame:
- Drying the Varmala: Before placing the varmala in the frame, it’s essential to dry it completely to prevent mold growth. Common methods include air-drying, using silica gel, or professional freeze-drying.
- Arrangement: Decide how you want to arrange the varmala within the frame. You might want to keep its original circular shape or arrange parts of it artistically.
- Sealing: Ensure the frame is properly sealed to protect the dried flowers from humidity and pests. Some frames come with tight seals, or you may need to add additional sealant.
- Size of the Frame: The overall size of the frame will depend on the size and shape of your varmala. Measure your varmala after drying to determine the appropriate frame dimensions. Common sizes for varmala preservation frames can range from 12×16 inches upwards.
- Backing: Consider the backing material of the frame. A neutral or contrasting background can help the varmala stand out. Some frames come with a linen or felt backing, which can also add a nice touch.
- Display: Decide whether you want to hang the frame on a wall or display it on a tabletop. Ensure the frame has the necessary hardware for your chosen display method.
