- Bar clamps
- Metal Pipe spacers
- Hex screws

- Double-sided tape
Step 1: Preparing Acrylic
To get yourself an art gallery like floating picture frame, first with the help of ruler measure 1/2” by 1/2” from each corner of a sheet. Securing both the sheets with a bar clamp now drill a hole through the sheets.
