Take advantage of the step-by-step lesson on DIY picture framing with a free article from The Artist’s Magazine. In “Do-It-Yourself Framing,” professional artist Keith Mealy walks you through the process to save you money and satisfy your DIY inclinations. “You rely on your framer as you entrust the fruits of your labor to a fellow craftsman—trusting that he will frame your work in a way that both protects the art and enhances its beauty,” Mealy says.

“Since the framer knows what he’s doing and does it well, why even attempt to learn how to frame work yourself? A simple reason: to save money. It may seem now that dropping your pictures off to the framer is an unavoidable necessity, but it’s an expensive one. What are you paying for exactly? Wood isn’t that costly; you’re paying for the framer’s knowledge and labor, certainly, but you’re also contributing to his shop’s overhead. While no one wants to put framers out of business, buying a few tools and learning a few skills can make you self-sufficient as an artist—ready, willing, and soon proficient enough to frame your works on your own.”

This tutorial is packed fulled of exciting tips and inspiration.
