Making Frames

I'm getting my room ready for the beginning of the new school year and I wanted to frame some of the school posters that we are required to have up.

Frames are hideously expensive.

I hit Home Depot and bought some 3 foot popular boards in 1/4 inch thickness.  These are very thin and light.

I measured the poster with the wood.  It's very non-exact.

I cut them and used some liquid nails between the "seams".  To strengthen them, I also glued some ribbon on to the back.

When done, I spray painted it.

Since my poster was laminated already, I stapled it to my wall and used the Command picture hanging strips on my frame.  I stuck it on the wall over the poster.

Done!  Looks great and really dresses up the poster.
