First, measure the size of the glass or photo you want to surround with a frame.

I like to throw in even more wiggle room, usually another 1/2, to the total. You can customise your perfect frame in our picture frame designer. Measure the new pictures length and height.

This is the cut width or picture frame molding width. Use the ruler to measure the height and width of the picture you'll be cutting the mat to fit. You can figure this out by simple math:

Add 6 for a 3 wide moulding so the 16 x 20 becomes 22 x 26. The difference between the two tells you how wide to make the rabbet so that the glass can lay comfortably in the frame with maybe a fraction of an inch to spare. All of our frames are measured by the inside dimensions.

Mark each center with a pencil. Measure the inner dimensions of your picture frame after cutting and squaring it in the last step. Subtract 1/2 inch from 12 1/8 to get 11 5/8 inches.

I’m going to have to figure out how to do this at some point or another. Then, measure the width of your moulding and add twice that width to each of the art size dimensions. I’d like to make a custom size picture frame which would require the same technique.

It is a common mistake to think the dimensions are the width and height of its outside edges. Measure the amount of inset for the picture on the back of the frame (probably around 1/4″). Then measure the width (facing you) of the frame material you’ve chosen.

You know the glass is 8×10. (10:55) we measure our final cut to be 14 right on the line. Picture framing and matting can be an “easy”, quick process;
