You can make yourself a picture frame out of just about anything that you would like. The conventional way that most people thick of when thinking about a picture frame, would be 4 pieces of wood fastened together to make a square or rectangle.
With a traditional style of molding profiles, the corners are cut on 45-degree angles. At the joints where the (2) 45 degrees are the wood is glued and has a piece of strengthening wood inserted in the joint its self.

This is usually biscuit that is put in with a special tool known as a biscuit cutter that cuts a slot in both sides of the joint areas. The slots are made at the same height from the back and will help in lining up the pieces for that joint. This is done for all 4-corner joints on the frame with this football shaped pieces of wood being inserted.
To make a simple frame, you can cut your frame size out of a piece of cardboard. Cutting the outside and inside to the size that you need. Try taking this then and covering it with some cloth of any type and pattern that you like. This light frame would be good for any lightweight picture or print that you may have.
If you need a frame made of one piece, you can use thin plywood and cut it out as you would with the cardboard. This you can glue anything that you want on it, and it will hold the weight. You can even take this simple frame and just paint it.
You can make a shadow box type frame with a shallow cardboard box. You can paint or cover this like any of the other frames mentioned. You can use a small wooden type box also. This will hold more weight than the cardboard one. It can be stained instead of painting also. A good smaller box to use for this would be one of the boxes that clementine or mandarin fruit comes in.
If you have the tools to cut metal, you can use this also. Anything from lightweight aluminum to wrote iron would work. Try using a very light gauge copper or any other metal to wrap around a solid frame. You will come up with some very nice looking frames this way also.
The best thing about making your own frames is that you can make it any size that you want to. You can even use any kind of material that would suite your frame location also. You can make a one of a kind that no one else has.
