I glued each corner, and made sure to get some into the holes and inserted the dowels. I applied glueto one corner at a time to give me time to get everything together. So it is handy to have a second set of hands for this if possible. Once all your holes are drilled on each end of each piece, it’s time to glue up. Just make sure that you always line up the jig in the same location on each piece. I lined the edge of my dowel jigon the INSIDE corner of the miter on each piece and clamped in place while I drilled the holes. You can get more details on this in my DIY cabinet door post here. They need to align perfectly or your DIY picture frame will be crooked or unsquare. Next, I sanded all the boards well (this is easier to do now, before you start assembling), and used a ⅜″ dowel jigto drill dowel holes ¾″ deep into each corner.Īs always, with dowels, make sure that your holes CORRESPOND when you drill them. Step 3: Drill Dowel Holes in Frame Corners Then I cut 2 pieces the same way, but with length equal to the height from step 1. I adjusted the miter angle on my miter saw to 45 degrees and cut 2 pieces with miters NOT parallel so that the total length (long end to long end) equaled the width from step 1. Height= height of picture + (2 x height of mat) + (2 x width of frame) – ¾″įor reference, I made my mat 3″ wide on each side of the picture and I used 1x3s for the frame which are 2 ½″ wide. Width=width of picture + (2 x width of mat) + (2 x width of frame) – ¾″
Then the formula for your board lengths is: I’ll share the formula to figure it out.įirst, you need the dimensions of the picture you are framing, the width of the mat you want around the picture, and lastly, the width of wood you want your frame pieces to be. Your picture frame size will depend on the size of the picture you are framing and the size of the mat that you want. Step 1: Determine the Size of Your Custom Picture Frame
#CUSTOM PHOTOFRAME HOW TO#
So, just in case you’ve got an old piece you’re needing to frame, I’m sharing how to make a custom picture frame to fit any print or picture you want 🙂 So, I drove over and picked it up when Dad was out working so he wouldn’t know I took it. If there are any problems please notify me.For Christmas a few years ago, I built my Dad a custom picture frame for a print he had gotten after someone in his family passed away.ĭad had kept that print in a spare bedroom for a while with intentions of getting it framed (but it was there for so long that I think he kind of forgot about doing anything with it).Thank you to for the program, for the colour palette, for allowing me to use her photo package as a base and TS4 for the original mesh. The frames can be found in Decorations or Surfaces and are searchable by the keyword: Frame
#CUSTOM PHOTOFRAME MODS#
If you have “LittleMsSam_MoreVisibleWallObjects_Photos” in your mods folder, delete it because my files use that as a base for the photos. Scale down the photo once (by pressing ])Īnd you’re done! now you can simply place the framed photo wherever you want. Place the photo on the frame (with MoveObjects On).ģ. 1 override file for the actual sim photo to be placeable on surfaces.Ģ. 2 small frames for each orientation and each having 5 wood colours and 15 plain colours. But now, with this mod/cc, you can finally put your valued photos and put them on any surface! Some of you must have been disappointed when you found out that it was just a trick for the trailer. If you watched the StrangerVille trailer, you probably saw the framed surface photo of three friends that can be seen in the game pack cover.
