-
Take apart the frame and remove the old photo and lift up the mat backings. Give the glass a good cleaning. Discard the photo or hang onto it for another paper project.

Using your pinking shears, cut a piece of fabric just larger than the glass and set it aside.
-
Measure the sides of the frame where you want to put the handles and drill the pilot holes.
-
Screw the handles to both sides of the frame.
-
To finish, lay the fabric on top and secure the mat backings.
