I’ve found that getting a real photo makes it much simpler rather than guessing where it should go. To see where it should sit inside your slats, grab any ol’ 4″ x 6″ photo and clip it to help you better position where your clip should go. You’ll want to glue on the picture clip on the center slat. Once you have your hanging hardware on, it’s time to add the picture clip. I wasn’t sure what I wanted so I just hung it up– and I like it as is! For ours, we have it leaning against the shelf. Or you could add a small picture frame support. If you want to hang your frame, now would be the time to glue on wall brackets. Since there will be a picture over most of the slats, perfection isn’t needed here! Adding the Finishing Touches You don’t need the spacing to be perfect! I’d recommend starting in the middle, and then adding a piece on either side of the middle. Īfter the glue sets, glue the remaining (3) strips and let the glue dry. Once dry, glue the (2) 8 ⅜” strips to (2) 9” flush to the end of the 8 ⅜” strips, about ⅜” up from the bottom of the 8 ⅜” strip, leaving a little lip around the top & bottom. Place your favorite stencil on top of the 5 strips and paint a coordinating color with a stencil brush (foam or bristle). Once they are dry, take the (5) 9” strips and line them up together. Using a foam brush, paint the front, back, and sides of all the wood pieces. This is the fun part! Choose a background paint color for the frame.
This part took less than 5 minutes, so I didn’t catch a photo! #badblogger Next, cut 2 pieces 8 3/8″ long to be your horizontal slats “holding it all together.” Using a miter saw, cut 5 strips of wood 9″ long.
