Aida size

Hi all! I am very new to cross stitch, just wondering how much space is ideal for the borders of cross stitch? i.e say the design is 56cm x 45cm, how big my aida needa buy? I am about to start a big project and would like to frame that, your helps are much appreciated, thanks so much!

I don't know about cm as we still use inches here, but they say to always add at least 3-4 inches around each side. This leaves enough material for the piece to be framed and matted if desired. There are several material calculators on the web. Try a search. Most of them only ask for you to put in your design size and aida count and it will calculate how much cloth you need. Hope this helps. :)
