After sanding the frame can be stained or painted

We marked the exact size of the routered groove onto the plexi with a sharpie and then used the dremel grinder with a cut off wheel to cut the plexi to shape. Eye protection is very important whenever using grinding tools.

For wall mounted frames just drill a hole 1/2 way through the wood so it can be hung on a nail. For self standing frames we just mounted a small piece of pine with one screw. See photo. The stand can pivot out of the way when changing photos.

Easy to make Fish and Sea Turtle Shaped Picture frames. These beautiful photo frames can be self standing or wall mounted. 

After the photo opening and plexi groove are finished use the jig saw to finish cutting the outside shape

Regardless of the design the project starts by sketching the frame on a piece of pine. 1x 8 or 1x10 works well for most frames
