Woodshop : Picture Frame

Woodshop : Picture Frame

I made this as part of my cub scout requirements.

Supplies :

• 1/2" thick strip of wood that is 1 1/2" wide
• (length should be the perimeter of photo plus six more inches)
•  saw
• measuring tape
• wood glue
• tacks
• nails
• photograph
• wood sander

Directions :

• Measure and cut two pieces of the wood to the length of the picture.  The outside edge should be approximately one inch longer on each side, if you use a 45 degree angle for the corners.
• Measure and cut two pieces of the wood to the width of the picture.  The outside edge should be approximately one inch longer on each side, if you use a 45 degree angle for the corners.
• Sand the edges until smooth.
• Stain or paint the pieces, and let dry.
• Glue and nail the four pieces together to create your frame.
• Tack the photograph to the back, once the frame is dry.
