Step 1

Remove the glass and matte from inside the frame and discard.

Step 2

Turn the frame over and use pliers to remove the metal tabs.

Step 3

Carefully cut chicken wire to your frame size with wire cutters from your tool set.
TIP: You want to cut chicken wire to fit around the outer rim of the frame’s back, not the inside. For example, if your frame is 11"x14" [28 cm x 36 cm], then that is what you want to cut from the chicken wire roll.

Step 4

Use a staple gun to attach chicken wire to the perimeter of the frame’s back.

Step 5

Turn your frame over and trim any excess wire visible from the front.

Step 6

Create your logo, or a design, in Cricut® Design Space™.

Step 7

Size the design as you would like it to appear on the front of your frame.

Step 8

Click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of your screen.

Step 9

Now, click ‘Continue’ in the bottom right corner of your screen and choose the correct material.

Step 10

Place chipboard piece to your strong grip cutting mat. Run your hands firmly over the chipboard surface to make sure it has a string bond with your cutting mat.

Step 11

Add masking tape around the perimeter of the chipboard for extra security.

Step 12

Insert your knife blade and housing into clamp B on your Cricut® machine, then load the cutting mat. Select the material and press the blinking Cricut® icon to cut your design.

Step 13

Carefully remove from mat and attach to your frame with e6000® adhesive. Let dry.

Step 14

Use clothespins to hang branded cards and/or accessory pieces.
