The first step was to measure the TV screen (50x88.5cm) then once I had bought all the materials (pine for the frame, beading for the inside of the frame, more beading for the cross in the middle, tacking pins, screws and paint) I could get started.
I measured the lengths of wood and sawed them off at a 45° angle. Doing this little extra work rather than just sawing them off square I decided was worth it as the corners would be much neater.
Once all the pieces were the correct size I (with a little help from my boyfriend, and more importantly his drill!) I screwed the frame together.
I then did the same with the beading I was using within the frame although I did not take into account that the beading was round on one side and the 45° angle did not make them sit together the way it did with the square timber.
I attached the beading with tacking nails then used filler to cover any gaps (like the ones in the corners of the beading) and left it over night to dry.
