Picture Frame Plan

[Julia Daytona]

Hello, I have been looking for a picture frame plan but am not able to find any from Kreg or in the plans section here on the Owner's Community.  Must be so simple that no one needed to make one! :)  However, If someone had one to share, that would be awesome.  Just a simple yet nice looking picture frame.  Thanks!

You are correct picture frames are a simple thing to build. Also there are many ways to join picture frames. There are simple miters, half lap miters, butt joints, cope and stick, dovetails, box finger joints.......... and countless other methods. A few tips to making them. Size the picture you would like to frame. Decide if the picture will have a border or not. Select what material you will use for a frame. Select what kind of profile you want to route into it. Or you could buy moulding. Moulding works great for picture frames. Route or dado a rabbet into the back of the moulding to accept the picture. Cut the sides to size with 45 deg. angles on the ends. Make sure the angles are exactly 45 degrees and make sure the matching sides are exactly the same length. Assemble and finish to your liking.
