How to Frame Glass Mosaics

Video Transcript

"In this segment I'm going to show you a little bit about how you might make a frame. There's probably many ways to do this, or you could buy, if your piece is a standard size, like eight by ten or twelve by fourteen or something, you can buy a regular frame and put that on there. You just have to be careful that that grout isn't going to get into everything. So what I do is I go to the lumber yard and I usually get piece about this size that will fit on there for a frame. Or sometimes I get piece that's got some decorative part on there and put that on. So what I do is, I begin with the sides first and I lay this on here, put a line on there, I use a t-square to put the line on so it's straight. And you could cut it on electric saw like this or I have a miter box that I usually put this in so I cut it nice and straight. This piece we're going to cut on my jigsaw. As I say, very often I use my miter box but. Anyway what I do now is put this little brads in here. I get them started, then what I do is I'm going to lay the glue, a strip of glue on here. Now you wouldn't be doing this while the glass was just recently glued. So you lay this piece on here."
