I have 4: 16 x 20 inch Disney pictures that I got printed back in January. My life has been so busy that unfortunately they are still sitting in the mailing tube the came in. I want to change this.
This week A.C. Moore has there frames 50% off. So I thought since I'm not working quite as much this week, if would be a good time to work on framing them. I would like to put mats on them. I have never done this before. Unfortunately the largest size pre-cut mat I have seen is for a size 11 x 14 picture to put in a 16 x 20 inch frame.
I was thinking buy 18 x 24 inch frames and then cut my own mats to fit the 16 x 20 inch pictures. They have the material to make the mats at AC moore I would have to cut it to fit the frame and then cut out the center.
Has anyone ever cut there own mats? How hard is this to do? What tools do you need to do this? Does anyone know of anyone good websites that show how to do this? I have looked but haven't seen anything.
Thank you in advance.
