Was easier then i first thought, took measurements of what size i wanted the frame to be, this case it was a 70cm X 40cm frame made to the size of the glass. Cut two pieces of glass to size, sandwiched the Papyrus inbetween them, mounted them in the frame then cut some 5mm x 6mm beads on my band saw and sanded them down smooth then with great care and a lot of piatence i nailed them to the back of the frame making sure not to hit the glass to hard, made them small enough so that they would not be visible to the eye unless you stand right in front of the frame.

Did not glue or tape the glass found that by applying lots of pressure to the back while nailing the trim in place that there was enough there to hold the glass firmly.
