## Laser Cut Picture Frame [Template](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Picture-Frame-gmm5tKKGFAIY) and [Video Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXql_iFCe4Q) 🖼️

We released a new [template for making laser cut picture frames](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Picture-Frame-gmm5tKKGFAIY) of any size!

Just type in the width and height of your picture to immediately generate SVG cut files for the wood frame and clear acrylic glazing.

It’s an elegant design: the acrylic piece slides in through the top, protecting your artwork, and the back has a built-in, centered hole for hanging.

Federico, who designed this template for his own art pieces, recorded a great [video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXql_iFCe4Q) showing how to customize the template and glue and assemble the frame.

Hint: add a cute photo or artwork for a nice Mother’s Day gift!

_The_ [_Picture Frame template_](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Picture-Frame-gmm5tKKGFAIY) _is free for the next week, then it will become a Pro template._

## New YouTube videos: [Cuttle Q&A](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEVSQTxqVer-3SyzNaUPQ2srdKZUfRfP9) 🙋

When folks ask questions about Cuttle — over email or in our [Discord chat](https://cuttle.xyz/discord) — I’ll often record a quick video response.

Since I feel like these videos could be useful for the wider community, I started a [new section](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEVSQTxqVer-3SyzNaUPQ2srdKZUfRfP9) on our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/cuttle) to collect these.

For example, after the release of our [Cake Topper template](https://localhost.cuttle.xyz:8001/@cuttle/Cake-Topper-Generator-Lq1sMetUmSul), folks had questions about making more specialty cake toppers so I recorded these responses showing how to use features in the Cuttle editor to design cake toppers from scratch with more control over the final result.

[_How do you make a cake topper where each word might be a different size or font?_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9qROSdTX7k&list=PLEVSQTxqVer-3SyzNaUPQ2srdKZUfRfP9&index=2&pp=iAQB)

[_How do you make an “I ❤️ U” cake topper (that is, a cake topper that might combine other shapes besides text)?_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4wWgHyIrWI&list=PLEVSQTxqVer-3SyzNaUPQ2srdKZUfRfP9&index=1&pp=iAQB)

I like recording these off-the-cuff videos because they’re quick, grounded in a real-world example, and I know that they’ll be helpful to at least one person 😅

Please keep sending in your questions! Just email me if anything comes up, or ask in our [Discord chat room](https://cuttle.xyz/discord).

## Featured in Make: magazine 🤩

There was a nice little feature on Cuttle in the latest print edition of Make: magazine!

Thanks [**Brian Wente**](https://cuttle.xyz/@bwente) for the tip off!

## Other Improvements and Fixes 🐞

-   Fixed a bug with the [Heart Shaped Box](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Heart-Shaped-Box-7yx9inQPEQHY) template. The slot positioning was off by a kerf, making it slightly asymmetric which could cause assembly issues if a piece was flipped over.
-   Fixed a bug where the emoji picker sometimes had a dark background.
-   Fixed a bug when importing SVG files that use “fillOpacity”. Thanks **Reid Bingham** for the report and example file!
-   Fixed a bug with the rendering of “outer” strokes in Chrome on M1 Macs.
-   Font Picker: Made the “Add Font” button always visible.
-   Bezier editing: now showing segments with computed handles as locked. This means they can’t be accidentally bent, overwriting your handle expressions.
