Here's a step-by-step guide on how to build a simple wooden picture frame:
Opening: Framing Memories, One Piece of Wood at a Time Framing a picture yourself adds a personal touch to your decor and allows you to customize the frame to perfectly match your image and style. This guide will walk you through creating a basic wooden picture frame, perfect for beginners.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials and Tools You'll need the following:
  • Wood (softwood like pine is easiest to work with, hardwood like oak is more durable)
  • Picture to be framed
  • Measuring tape
  • Pencil
  • Saw (hand saw or power saw)
  • Miter box (optional, but highly recommended for accurate angled cuts)
  • Wood glue
  • Clamps
  • Sandpaper (various grits: 120, 220)
  • Wood finish (stain, paint, varnish, etc.) and applicator (brush, cloth)
  • Safety glasses
  • Step 2: Measure and Cut the Wood
  • Measure the Picture: Carefully measure the height and width of your picture. These are the *inside* dimensions of your frame.
  • Calculate Frame Dimensions: Decide on the desired width of your frame pieces. For example, if you want the frame to be 2 inches wide, add 4 inches to both the height and width of your picture to get the total length of each frame piece. This accounts for the 2-inch width on each side.
  • Cut the Wood: You'll need four pieces of wood. Two pieces will be the height of the *outside* dimension of your frame, and two pieces will be the width of the *outside* dimension. Use your saw and miter box to cut each piece at a 45-degree angle at each end. It's crucial that the angles are accurate for a tight fit. Ensure the longest point to longest point on each piece accurately match the outside dimension calculations.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Frame
  • Dry Fit: Before applying glue, assemble the frame pieces without glue to ensure they fit together correctly. Make adjustments as needed. This is your chance to correct any mistakes in your measurements or cuts.
  • Apply Glue: Apply wood glue to the mitered edges of each piece. Be generous, but not so much that it will cause excessive squeeze-out.
  • Clamp the Frame: Carefully assemble the frame, pressing the glued edges together. Use clamps to hold the frame securely in place while the glue dries. Ensure the corners are square. If you don't have corner clamps, use regular clamps and corner blocks (small blocks of wood cut at a 90-degree angle) to help maintain squareness.
  • Wipe Away Excess Glue: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess glue that squeezes out from the joints. Dried glue can interfere with finishing.
  • Allow to Dry: Let the glue dry completely according to the glue manufacturer's instructions (usually 24 hours).
  • Step 4: Sand and Finish
  • Sanding: Once the glue is completely dry, remove the clamps. Sand the entire frame with 120-grit sandpaper to smooth out any imperfections and level the joints. Then, sand with 220-grit sandpaper for a smoother finish.
  • Finishing: Choose your desired finish. You can stain the wood to enhance its natural grain, paint it for a pop of color, or apply a clear varnish to protect the wood and add shine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for applying your chosen finish. Allow the finish to dry completely between coats and sand lightly with fine-grit sandpaper (320 or 400) if needed for a smooth finish.
  • Step 5: Add Picture Support and Hanging Hardware
  • Picture Support: Cut a piece of cardboard or foam core board slightly smaller than the inside dimensions of the frame. This will support your picture from the back.
  • Retaining System (optional): Depending on your desired level of permanence, you can use flexible points that insert into the wood to hold the backing and picture in, or use a bead of silicone or hot glue to hold everything in place.
  • Hanging Hardware: Attach picture hanging hardware to the back of the frame. D-rings with wire are a common option. Make sure the hardware is securely attached and can support the weight of the framed picture.
  • Conclusion: Admire Your Handiwork You've now successfully built your own wooden picture frame! Insert your picture, admire your craftsmanship, and hang it proudly on your wall. This project is a great introduction to woodworking and can be easily adapted to create frames of different sizes and styles.
