Measure and Cut the Screen Material

Materials:

- Measuring tape - Pencil or marking tool - Scissors or utility knife - Screen material

Instructions:

1. Measure the window frame: Using a measuring tape, measure the length and width of the window frame (from inside to inside). Note down these measurements carefully.
2. Add a few inches: To ensure a snug fit, add approximately 2 inches to both the length and width measurements. These additional inches will be used for the screen frame.
3. Mark the screen material: Using the adjusted measurements, mark the length and width of the screen material on the side facing you. Make sure the marks are straight and precise.
4. Cut the screen material: Carefully cut the screen material along the marked lines. Use scissors for small or straight cuts, while a utility knife may be more appropriate for curved or large cuts.
