Making a picture frame on your Cricut is a great way to show off your favorite photographs and artwork. The Cricut machine can cut out any shape or size of frame that you need, and with the help of Cricut’s Design Space software, you can customize it to fit any décor. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, making a frame with your Cricut is easy!
Step 1: Gather your supplies. You will need a piece of cardstock or other thin material for the frame, as well as adhesive for sticking it together. You will also need two pieces of mat board or foam board for backing the frame and keeping the photograph in place.
Step 2: Decide on the size of your frame. Measure the photograph that you want to display and then use this measurement to determine how big to make your frame. Once you have decided on a size, use Design Space to create a custom shape that matches the dimensions of your photo.
Step 3: Cut out the pieces of your frame.
Place the cardstock onto your cutting mat and load it into the Cricut machine. Use Design Space to select the appropriate settings for cutting out your custom-sized shape, then press “Go” to start cutting. Once all pieces have been cut out, remove them from the mat and set aside.
Step 4: Assemble the frame. Apply adhesive along one side of each piece of cardstock then press them together in an overlapping pattern until they form a complete frame with all sides connected securely. When finished, set aside and allow time for it to dry completely before continuing on with step 5.
Step 5: Attach backing boards and photograph. Cut two pieces of mat board or foam board slightly smaller than the back opening of your picture frame using scissors or a paper trimmer; these will be used for backing and securing your photo in place when finished assembling everything together. Place one piece onto the backside of the frame first then adhere it securely with adhesive; next, place your photograph on top followed by another piece of backing board over top before pressing down firmly to secure everything together.
Step 6: Hang up! Finally, hang up or stand up wherever desired using push pins or double-sided tape for extra support – and enjoy!
Conclusion: Making a picture frame on Cricut is an easy way to add some personalization and style to any space in no time at all! With just a few simple steps and some materials such as cardstock, adhesive and foam board, anyone can create their own custom-sized frames that are sure to impress family and friends alike!
