    An easy to follow and simple tutorial, thank you for sharing. I would add one small suggestion to countersink the frame screw holes so the screw heads don’t protrude from the back.
  • Great tutorial for the average person who doesn't have a workshop or arsenal of tools. Very clear, concise instructions. Thank you!
  • @rmt7922
    This is just perfect for my art work! Simple with a great finished look.
  • Out of all the tutorial's out there, this one rocks above them all. That means, I LIKED it!!!
  • This is excellent!! Thank you so much for sharing the whole process, describing so well, and giving alternatives along the way.
  • @laurendao4467
    Watching your construction of this helped me figure out how to engineer the same thing for my bathroom mirror. Thank you for such clear instructions.
  • Thank you so much for this complete tutorial. Very impressed... clear, organized video... provided ALL the information needed to do this. As a new fluid artist, this takes me to a whole different level. Thanks again!
  • VERY thorough and inexpensive framing tutorial ♥️ love Love LOVE it!
  • Great little tutorial. Simple, easy, and most tools are handy at home. I’ve browsed through many “floating frame” tutorials and this is the keeper! Thanks for sharing and allowing me to polish off my photo prints in custom floater frames.
  • @mjmarcks4527
    This is a great tutorial, and you did an excellent job of relaying all the information and steps in an easy to follow, straightforward way. This will be a game changer for me. Much appreciated.
  • @BojanaS86
    Totally the best tutorial I could find for an average person and just an artist like me looking to put a more of a finished look to my pieces. And you don't need a whole lot of tools and supplies. Thanks!
  • @bonneebyrne
    Best tutorial on making floater frames I have seen yet.
  • This was a very helpful video! Very precise, and I appreciate those little tips and tricks I wouldn't have thought of such as the playing cards for spacers as well as gluing those pieces of paper as to more easily remove the blocks later on. Thanks again!
  • @sally8234
    What a great idea. Thanks for that. I will paint the bottom portion of the frame black upon which the artwork is resting to give a nice even black reveal around the art piece.
  • @user-go1cb1jq3y
    I watched a lot of videos. You explained it the BEST for a person just starting out
  • @AKAndrew
    This is a great video! Clear instructions given in a really concise way. Perfect, thank you!!
  • @austinccolton
    Thanks a bunch! This was a helpful and simple tutorial and the fact that you aren't someone with expensive high end tools and a workshop made me feel a lot more confident about doing it. Nothing is worse than finding a DIY video where the equipment used is so professional that it would cost way more to get the material than to buy the frame. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
