Abstract
A design mount includes a design cutout having a design printed or adhered to the design surface and an adhesive tape on the back of the design cutout to mount the design cutout to any design surface. A plurality of design cutouts may be printed on a single sheet of material, and the design cutouts then cut out of the sheet. The design mount may also provide an artwork holder, having a shape that matches the shape of the design cutout. The inner perimeter of the holder may be about 1 mm smaller than the outer perimeter of the design cutout. The artwork holder may be heated, and the design cutout secured within the holder while the holder is heated. The holder then cools, providing a tight fit of the design cutout within the artwork holder.
