Continuing with the process, we will move on to cutting the base of the frame. In case you are using cardboard, mark the points for both the inner opening and outside edges. Finally, cut it using a scissor or a cutter carefully. Moreover, use a ruler to measure it all again to confirm before cutting.

Using the hot glue gun, join all the separate parts of the frame together. No doubt, it should appear in a proper rectangular or square shape. That depends on your measurements.
