Tutorial

  1. Cut your wood to size (or have your local home improvement store cut it) and stain or paint it the color you want your “frame”. Then, tape all the edges with painter’s tape. When taping, you’ll want to be sure that you tape off the same width on all sides. Tutorial: Faux Wood Frames on Wooden Signs with Your Silhouette Cameo or Cricut Explore - by cuttingforbusiness.com
