Instructions
Step 1: Cut The Frame Edges
Measure the photo you wish to frame, then use a mitre box and tenon saw to cut lengths of moulding for the frame edges. Sand off any splinters using 120 grit sandpaper.
Step 2: Prepare The Backing
Test-fit the frame edges together and cut a rectangle of 3mm plywood to size, then sand the edges with 120 grit sandpaper. Use double-sided tape to attach the photo in the centre.
TIP: Cut the backing a few millimetres smaller than the size of the frame.
Step 3: Glue The Frame Together
Apply Selleys Aquadhere Quickset along the back of the frame pieces and on the mitre cuts. Carefully arrange the pieces around the backing and hold in place using masking tape until dry.
Step 4: Add A Stand
For a freestanding picture frame, simply use Selleys Aquadhere Quickset to glue an offcut of moulding to the backing, holding it in place using masking tape until dry.
Step 5: Decorate!
Give the frame a personal touch by staining, painting or decorating the edge once the glue has has fully cured.
The lengths of framing for this project are measured from the exterior side of the mitre, or the maximum length of each piece.
To frame a larger or smaller picture, simply take its measurements and subtract 5mm so the frame will slightly overlap the edges of the picture. Make the first mitre cut, then mark the length on the interior side of the frame edges.
What is a tenon saw?
A tenon saw is a type of handsaw used to make precise cuts in timber. It has a reinforced back to make it more rigid, and finer teeth than an average handsaw, allowing it to make neater cuts.
