Sometimes you want to be able to frame something without the need for sophisticated tools or the help of a professional framer.

Well, that's where this week's free project comes in! This is a quick and easy way to frame something without the need for a miter saw. Add a little acrylic craft paint to complement your artwork and you're in business.

This is just one project from the book Frame It! by Tonia Davenport. In addition to traditional framing techniques, this book is filled with many non-traditional approaches to framing as well. In the book you'll find:

• How to cut glass, mats, Plexiglas, frame molding and more

• Creative ways to extend your art into the matting and the frame

• Unique solutions to framing things with depth

• Alternative methods such as using vinyl, glass and nails, and many other unexpected materials
