A framing apparatus for framing an object is disclosed. The framing apparatus includes a foam frame body defining an aperture and having a frictional contact surface surrounding at least some of the aperture for frictionally engaging at least some of a peripheral surface of the object. Methods and kits are also disclosed.

An image display including an image substrate and a support structure. The image substrate has an image printed on a first surface. The support structure can include a front sheet and a plurality of side strips extending from the front sheet. The image substrate can be adhered to an external surface of the front sheet so that the front sheet forms a rigid backing for the image substrate. A variety of image substrates are provided.

Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for selectively arranging a plurality of visual features. The systems and methods include the use of a plurality of display assemblies. Each display assembly can have a frame and at least one magnet operatively associated with the frame. Each display assembly can be configured for selective positioning relative to at least one other display assembly to establish a polar attraction between aligned magnets associated with the frames of adjacent display assemblies.

A frame assembly includes a frame base and a rear panel including a plurality of side walls that are configured to be received within a plurality of side walls of the frame base. Along an external surface of each side wall of the rear panel there is at least one locking tab that is configured for reception within one corresponding locking opening of the frame base when the rear panel is inserted into the frame base so as couple the rear panel to the frame base in a snap-fitting manner and permit a canvas substrate to be captured therebetween for holding the canvas substrate across a front face of the frame base.

A connector for repositionably securing a frame to a support surface includes a body having a first face, an opposite second face, a first side edge and an opposite second side edge. The connector has a non-permanent adhesive layer located along the first face and further includes an angled release tab that extends outwardly from the first side edge. One or more projections extend outwardly from the second face and are configured for being received within a rear of the frame for coupling the connector to the frame.

A toy includes a rear member, a front member and a base member. The rear member has: a rear surface; a peripheral side surface extending forward from the rear surface and defining a base socket; and a mounting member for engaging a nail or hook inserted into or secured to a wall. The front member has: a flat vertical front surface for receiving an art treatment; a peripheral flange portion extending rearward from the front surface and that engages a portion of the peripheral side surface to removably retain the front member on the rear member, while leaving the at least one socket exposed. The base member has: a base plug portion removably disposed within the base socket to removably attach the base member to the rear member; and a base exposed portion that defines lower extent of the toy and allows the toy to stand on a horizontal surface.

A float frame consists of a frame and an article. The frame has a first size, a back panel, a hanging system formed on the back panel, and magnets embedded on the back panel. The article, which can be a canvas, has a second size smaller than the first size of the frame, creating a visual illusion that the article floats within the frame. The canvas has magnets embedded into its stretcher bars, the magnets positioned corresponding to positions of the magnets embedded on the back panel of the frame. The hanging system has an opening with a wave patterned border with sine-wave curves in a repeating pattern for hanging the frame in any desired orientation. The back panel of the frame can have thumb hole(s) for facilitating separation of the frame and the article, as well as pin holes for affixing canvases without embedded magnets to the frame.
