How to Cut Out a Picture

Video Transcript

PAMELA YAGER: So now that I have my nice little borders on my picture, I'm just following them around with the scissors and I'm cutting them. There are other ways that you can do with straight edges, which is with cutting--professional cutting tools. They have straight edge cutters. You can bring it to a local copy shop. They have cutting machines there. Because this is--picture is going to be in the frame, we don't necessarily need to have it all that straight because this area is going to be covered up by ribbon. We're not going to see it. So it's really not that important. It just means that it's the right size. Some things, you have a little bit of fudging with and as I always say, it's a craft item and you know it's not machine made. People enjoy sometimes when it doesn't look exactly perfect. Make sure you just tell 'em that, too. And now we're ready to put it in our clip frame. So the clip frame is like this, they have little silver clips on the back. You're going to want to remove those and put them over in the side. And we're going to remove our glass portion and try not to get your fingerprints on there. It should be clean because we're taking it brand new from the package. You can also clean it if you feel like it's been sitting around for a while and has dust on it. And we line it up and now we're going to put the clips back on it. Now, because I'm going to be putting it in the easel as I showed before--we're going to be putting in the easel and we're going to be putting a lots of glue and stuff on the sides. We don't need to put clips all the way around. I'm just going to do my clips on the sides--sorry--on the sides and these clip right in the back like that and we're going to do one on the other side. And then next, we're just about ready to start decorating.
