Embellish store-bought frames with strips of wood. Hang them together gallery-style to link a trio of pictures. The simple black-and-white photographs pop against a bold paint color.
After cutting all wooden pieces, glue them to the frame following the order of the numbered diagram.
Cut basswood to the following lengths with miter box:
4 pieces 2 inches longer than exterior length of frame (1, 2, 5, 6)
2 pieces to fit the width between 1 and 2 (7, 8)
2 pieces 5 inches longer than exterior width of frame (3, 4)
8 pieces 1 inch long (see shading)
Step 2
Using a flat brush, glue pieces to the frame and one another according to the numbered diagram, sanding ends of wood as necessary for a good fit. Attach 1-inch pieces last.
