wood frame instructions

[stamplovinglatina]

can someone tell me how to make the wood frames? i know you buy them at michaels or acmoore, do you paint them before using the modpodge and paper? what do you do on the sides? paint?
thanks for all your help and inspiration!

i have done several of these. personally i am lazy...i put my paper on with regular adhesive. paint just the edges...let it dry and then mod podge the whole thing. just make sure that your mod podge is the finish you want ie glossy, matte etc. i usually do several at one time...that way i can just change my work table cover (i use a roll of paper that i got from a printing company)
