how to build a cheap frame for a painting

So I start buy buying molding from the hardware store

measure (on the inside of the inner rim) and cut 45deg angles with a Mitre Box
After cutting I tape the inside, and open the outside and put in woodglue. 


Then clamp while the glue dries.
wow. done. that was quick.

  3. Hi thanks. Sorry I forgot i posted this question. So the painting has already been stretched when you fit it tight to the frame? Thanks again.
