Step-by-step instructions:

Iron the back of your completed cross stitch on a medium heat to get rid of any creases.
Lay your cross stitch flat onto a piece of foam board and measure to size using a ruler. You should allow at least 1-inch of fabric on each side of the design.
Cut the foam board to size using a ruler and a pair of scissors to score down the foam board, ensuring the cut goes all the way through the foam board. You may want to rest this on a piece of cardboard, so you don't cut any household surfaces!
Use medium grit sandpaper to carefully sand your cut-to-size foam board to ensure the edges are smooth. You can also round the corners by going over them a few times.
Lay your work onto the foam board and ensure that it is centred and your design is facing outwards.
Use glass head pins to secure your cross stitch to the sides of the foam board. I would suggest using 3 on each side or place 1 pin every 3 inches.
Use acid-free mounting tape to secure your cross stitch to the foam board. Don't forget to tape the corners.
Your mounted piece is now complete! You can keep the glass head pins in or take them out, if you prefer.
