How to Assemble a Framed Glass Painting

Video Transcript

"DAVID A. CLEMEN: Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village, and today we're going to paint a piece of glass inside of a frame. All right. Now that we've got our paint and we've painted the glass. We've cleaned the glass. We've painted the glass. We've done it in layers. We've done all this stuff to it, then once we let this paint dry, which I haven't done but when you do it, let it dry thoroughly before you go ahead and put the matte in, okay? So once you get it dry and you put it there, then you can take the matte. If you want--if you don't want, you can just seal the--you can put the glass back down. You just need to put something in between the spaces or the gaps of the little metal things to hold it in. But this, you can just leave the back out of it and you have something to put on the wall. Whatever the color of the wall is, you'll get that. But I'm going to go and put the matte in there, but I'm not going to put the actual back in there. So I'm going to pull this back up. So it slides in nicely. Now, I want to smear the paint. I'm going to put this back. You have this matte in here 'cause it's not dry. So I'm just going to start at one end and slide it in. Once I get to the position I want, I'm just going to slowly set it down. Okay. And then, I'm going to go around, catch each one of these, press them down till it presses on the matte, and then I have a finished glass piece. Oh, don't forget, take the tape off that we used as a guideline. So once you do that, then it's ready to hang. And they usually have a hanger here or on the side, but they usually leave that up to you. And you can see that I forgot a piece of tape, so I'm going to peel that off as well. And then it will be a finished glass piece. Let's stick that over here. I'm going to pull this tape off, pull this one off, and there you have it."
