Directions for Making Screen Frames

To make the screen(s), build a frame with ½” wide by 1” thick wood.  Make sure that the inside of the wooden frame is the same size as the paper you desire.  Set the screen down on top of the frame evenly and nail or staple it into place.  Make sure the screen is snug and there are no big gaps between the wood and the frame.

Materials:

Assembly:

Have the lumber yard cut the wood to the desired lengths.

Enlist volunteers to help cut the screen material the appropriate size

Assemble each wooden frame and attach the screen material securely.  The screens should fit snuggly without any gaps in the screen portion of the frame when finished.
