Use a miter sled, with a stop fixed to the fence(s).

Google for "crosscut sled". Do an image search.
Imagine putting a 45 degree angle fence on it. Make that
fence long enough to use a stop to cut consistent lengths.
Google for "miter sled".

What about double-sided tape?

I cheat. I cut each side slightly longer than I need. I pair them and
fasten them together I then trim each pair to the proper lenght, remove
the fasteners and place them on the oposite sides. I use to use small
nails but find that staples work just as well and don't leave as big of
holes in the frame.
I use a square miter gauge as found at Rockler with an extended face.

A hobby should be fun. Get the right equipment, or set up a jig.
I've only seen it once, but a guy I knew had a cast iron [really well
made] setup. He ran it along the miter guide slot, turn it a notch
for the other piece and they fit every time. They didn't have to be
bang on, just bang on with each other to form 90 degrees.
