You cut two mats (or have them cut) one with a larger opening than the other with a "spacer" glued between them (like a strip of two thicknesses of foam board). Then you fasten the ric-rac to the bottom mat with half of it showing. The reason I did this is the birds bodies are 3-D (cotton balls underneath to puff them out), so the glass of the eventual frame has to be raised to accommodate the birds!
