Step 5
Here's the final placement. Notice that there's an orange feather shape over the top left edge, the top right edge and corner, and the lower left edge and corner. These will be the shapes you cut. First, trace around your template, and cut your paper down to the size of your frame insert (already done that in this picture). For this, you can either cut your clear template down to the size of your art (but then you have to eyeball placement when you lay it back down) or you can place your art between the template and paper to line it up, then remove the template and (carefully!) mark the shapes right at the edge of the art, with a pencil. With a pencil, carefully mark where each of those shapes meet the edge of your art. For each shape, mark where the shape crosses into the art and where it crosses back out. These are the two points between which you will cut.
