need framing help
I'm framing some prints in open-back frames. I've mounted the prints on foam core, but i can't figure out how to secure them into the frames. I've seen a tool online called a point driver that must be what professionals use, but I can't justify buying one. Any other method?

I've got good instincts; I already bought 'em! But how do they go in?
When I lay them flat on the foamcore, I assume the little 90 degree tabs go down, not up, but then there's no room to get the point in.

When you set them down on your foam core the little tabs point up. The tabs just keep you from pushing the point in too far.

Just wanted to say thanks for the detailed tip. Those little tabs, pointing up, are what I banged against to get them in (I used a pry bar but a chisel would've worked better, if I could have found one of mine!)
A bit of downward pressure on them while hammering into the side of the frame made for a nice tight mounting. Thanks again.
