Easy DIY Picture and Poster Frame W/ Easy (Yes! Easy) Mitered Corners

ATTENTION PLEASE: The days of paying high prices for picture and poster frames are over. Seriously.
Over.


I only shop at sensibly priced stores and was shocked at the prices of frames roughly 22″ by 26″…..I’m talking about flat black frames with a white matte.


Ridiculous.
We can do better….and even if we have trouble mitering corners.


No worries.


The days of those embarrassing, ill-fitting miters are over, too.


That’s right.


Hallelujah.
Even this......is not a problem. .......Ugh. Scary.......but not a problem.
Perfect for basements.....fun rooms....youth rooms....almost any room.

    @Susie @ The Chelsea Project Blog your frames look very professional. Wish I could do this for my original oils, but I need a glass to fit over the top of it. Perhaps I will investigate glass companies to get the right cut. Thanks for posting.

    Nice job...I just made a huge sea portrait and cedar wood frame! Ugh! My corners need a lot of help. But I seem 2 always find objects 2 cover my....Ooooopsies! 😝
    • @LG Haha! I know exactly what you mean. I couldn't live without wood putty! Thanks so much. Enjoy getting your Oooooopsies repaired.
