"Now, we're ready to place our beads on the picture frame for decorating. I purposely waited to put the beads on after I made my borders, because it's to be, it's much easier to make the borders without anything on top of the picture frame. As I handle it now, the beads have a tendency to fall off, if I'm going to be handling it too much. So, I wanted to put my borders around the picture frame before I put my beads on. So, now I just apply the beads by putting some glue right onto the picture frame and then putting the beads right into the glue. As we put our beads on, this is also a chance to cover up any marking on the picture frame that might have come about either through the masking tape or from the gold fasteners that are underneath. So, we can go ahead and cover up anything that we want to not to show through. It could also include any markings from a pen, or the outline if we, if we made any errors while making the borders. You can combine different shapes of beads, different colors of beads, or you can use totally different materials all together. You don't have to use beads at all. But, the beads give a, give a nice look to it, also small stones and seashells give it a nice look. It?s much easier just to place the glue right onto the picture frame and then put the beads in. Because, anyway the glue dries clear and this way you don't have to handle each small bead individually. You can just put a line of glue and just lay them across the picture frame. It's much easier. So, now we can see the nice colors the beads have made for our picture frame. And that's the thing about beads, is because there's so much variety, that it really livens up the picture frame. That's the nice thing about beads, now we've seen the many colors we've placed on our picture frame, so really liven it up. That's the nice thing about beads; we can really do some many variations for the picture frame and make it look really nice. So, now I've shown you how to put beads around for decorations on our picture frame."
