Very nice! Just what I needed to see, much appreciated. I matched up an old metal frame to a kitchen dishcloth - nice linen one with good graphics. The matting is stained and awful. I wondered how to fix that cheaply. Now I know. Just use up some scrap cloth on the matting and make it like a new framing. The trick with cloth which never sits symmetrically, is to starch it slightly. Now, I'll give you some tips on refinishing wood which is my hobby. Strip with Jasco. Scrub with Acetone. Sand fine with 220 or 320 grit. If you want it darker, stain. If you like it same color but more golden, brush down with Boiled Linseed Oil. Let it soak up all the oil it wants for 15 mins. Then wipe dry and let it dry for 1-2 days. Then get Varathane Oil based Satin (or Gloss) Clear interior Polyurethane. Cut it 50:50 with Mineral spirits. Brush on a thin layer of Poly. Wait 10 mins, wipe/smear with paper towel removing drips and leaving a thin film only. Let dry in hot sun for an hour or less. When dry to touch repeat twice. Done. Make sure to oil and poly the entire frame not just the top. This preserves wood too and it is very durable - no water, alcohol, stains will penetrate. You can also stain with colors, and then you skip the oil part. Satin poly is easier to work with than gloss.

Really excellent tutorial, thanks. Just what I've been looking for. I'm a big fan of using double-sided tape with fabrics - much cleaner and less messy/sticky than other glues. I do cross-stitch and I'm always looking for different ways to frame them. I didn't feel confident enough to cut my own mats, but this technique can hide less-than-perfect cutting, so I'll give it a go 😊

Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes absolutely, you don’t need to get that angled edge either. A straight cut will do!

Very cool! What is the name of the tape you used to hinge the art?

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I use washi tape to adhere the art to the backing board. It's generally very gentle and doesn't rip paper.
