Step 2 Modify your frames

It turns out the IKEA 3 pack of frames was perfect for this project, as I used two of them to make the mold and one for the deckle. Remove the backing and glass (actually plastic) Then, with a pair of pliers remove the four metal tabs. Next take a sharp utility knife and remove the lip from the inside of the frame. Other frames might be made of more substantial material and may require a saw or dremel tool to do the same.

The two molds we've created are made from screen fabric (as used in window screens) and Pantyhose. With the pantyhose, slide the frame into a leg and take both ends and tie them together tightly, smooth out any wrinkles and apply hot glue to the outside of the frame. After the glue has cooled check to make sure there is good adhesion add more glue if needed and then cut the ends off and cut around the bottom of the frame, you only want one layer of screen material.

Screen door fabric: Take a piece of screen and lay it on the table place the frame on top and fold over and apply glue on the side. Next glue the opposite side and trim, then turn one of the remaining sides over the frame and glue, finish the last side and carefully trim any remaining screen.

The deckle is just the frame with the lip that holds the glass trimmed off.
