Abstract
A material mounting apparatus may include a body having a front side and a back side. One or more body attachment elements may be secured to the back side of the body. One or more connectors may be secured to and extend from the one or more body attachment elements. A material may be placed over the front side of the body. An outer perimeter of the material may extend beyond a perimeter of the body. The outer perimeter of the material may be folded across the perimeter of the body into an adjacent relationship with the back side of the body. The one or more connectors may be secured to the material to retain and/or stretch the material over the material mounting apparatus.
