How to Make Wood Window Picture Frames

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Robin with Images of Austin here in Austin, Texas. Visit us on the web at imagesofaustin.com. Hi, today I'm going to show you how to make my version of a wood window picture frame. I like a wood frame and get two pieces of glass that fit inside this frame. Yes they do. Now I'm going to clean both of these pieces of glass. It's real important that you clean all four sides of this glass. Two sides you won't be able to get to; after we're finished. Okay. Now one piece of glass and go ahead and put inside of your frame. The other piece of glass, we're going to attach the picture that we want in our picture window frame. And I'm going to use some double stick tape. I'm going to center this onto the glass; being careful not to touch the glass and get fingerprint on it. Okay. Now I'm going to turn the glass over and I'm going to put it with the image side down facing the other piece of glass, like so. To attach the glass into the frame, I'm going to use some clips; two per side. You don't want to press down too hard on that glass or you'll crack it. Now I'm going to finish off the back of it with some brown paper; untying double stick tape. I'm sure you're wondering, "Aren't you going to see that brown paper back behind that glass?" I'm going to trim off the inside and the outside of this one. So I've run double stick tape on the outside; now I'm running double stick tape around the inside lid of the frame. Now I'm going to apply the dust cover paper and first I'm going to trim off the excess of, on the outside of the piece. Okay. Now for the inside part. Now I've to rub really hard 'cause it's how it's going to crease where the inside of that frame is. Now I stick my blade into the corner and we're going to run that blade just along the inside edge of this frame. That just gives you a nice finished back to your piece. In this particular case we don't want to put a wire on it because obviously, then you would see it behind the glass. Voila, we are done. There is your wood window picture frame. Thank you for watching. My name is Robin Doerr. I'm here with Images of Austin and if you can't use me as your framer, please come see somebody and get your picture straight on the wall. Thank you. You all have a great day. Bubye."
