    "On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Debbie Reeves at John's Design Center and I'm here to tell you about custom picture framing. Now, the second way is I'm going to cut the glass right on the picture. So, I take my picture, pick up my glass and again, I line up my glass on two sides (this side and this side). Line it up so it's nice and flat. And, again, I'm just going to pick this up just a little bit so that this...because it's heavy, it might break before I want it to break. I do the same thing. I use my picture as my guide. Now, it doesn't want to break because it doesn't have quite enough. So, I pick it up, I put my two fingers on it and I break it right off. So, I put this down, and now I just turn my picture around and make sure it's all lined up. I use my picture as my guide, and it's that simple. We now have the glass cut and ready to be fit."
