Step 2 · Cut Molding Pieces

Based on your layout plan, measure and mark the molding pieces for cutting. Use a miter saw to make precise angled cuts for the corners of each frame. Most picture frames require 45-degree miter cuts at each end to form a 90-degree corner. For the stair wall, you may need to adjust angles to account for the slope. Measure twice and cut once to ensure accuracy and minimize waste. For each piece, ensure the inside edge of the miter corresponds to the length of the frame section.
