"Hello my name is Denise Robinson on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you how to create and decorate a picture frame. Now to further distress my picture frame I'm going to use a knife and a fork not to eat but to distress my picture frame even further. I'm just going going to take my fork and this make like cat claws across. Then diagonal all the way across. As you can see I'm starting to get a little form to one side of my picture frame and I'm going to duplicate the other side just by giving like cat claws going across the sides of my picture frame. Then I'm going to turn it and angle it all the way down to mirror the other side of the picture frame. Now you can see my markings. Now I'm going to take my knife and on the shorter ends make another kind of design and just use the little teeth like marks that are in the knife itself and just simple lines and kind of angle it. See now we have a design cut out on our picture frame. "
