It looks very simple and it's essential just an accent to the photo/frame.

What I'm talking about our the white angular border accents on the photo below.

I still can't figure out how to do it; I tried the rectangle tool and then to erase it.

I even purchased a font set of frames and borders but that didn't work either

I want them proportional and copies like this person seem to do:

Please help me thanks!
 
Rectangle tool set it to make a square, fill the selection(1). Make a new selection on the square with the rectangle tool, move it as necessary then hit delete.(2).

If you don't deselect the rectangle after you fill it, keep the marquee tool chosen, and move it where you want it.

If you have trouble matching the top line width to the side line width, there are a number of other ways to make it.

I think my choice would be to set up guidelines for the exact width and height. Choose a hard square pencil. Place the pencil at the guideline corner, click to make the first pencil mark, move to the next guideline set corner, hold the shift key and click. Move down to the next corner and shift click again. If you're satisfied, copy the layer and use the transform controls to rotate the corner pieces.

Here's a visual. Hope this helps:

I ended up using hawkeyes method of making a rectangle of about 10px by 10x and then overlapping another rectange with the "SUBTRACT -" mode on, an it basically created the ilusion of the right-angle accent.

Then I just rotated it and tried to use the GRID to align everything perfectly.
