Replacing Picture Glass in Broken Picture Frames

Hey!

Today we're going to learn a very important skill that every picture frame expert needs to know. We're going to learn how to replace broken picture glass.

Picture glass can be broken fairly easily--especially if you have kids around the house! With glass picture frames, the entire frame is made out of glass. If it's broken, your only option is to get a new frame. This is one of the downsides to glass frames. For wooden frames, on the other hand, you can easily replace the glass, and in most cases, the photo or painting won't even be damaged!

The first step is to remove the broken glass. Be extra careful when you do this. Broken glass is very sharp, and it is easy to get hurt. Once you've removed all the glass from the frame, be sure to sweep up any glass that fell when you were cleaning. Next, dispose of the glass. After the glass is disposed, it's time to put the replacement in.

Replacement picture glass can be purchased online, or at any DIY home arts and crafts store. Be sure to measure your picture frame before you buy the glass, or else you might end up getting the wrong size. Once you buy the replacement, simply fit it into the notches on your wooden picture frame.

And there you have it! Replacing broken picture glass is very easy. To prevent picture glass from breaking in the first place, here's a few helpful hints.

1. Don't hang picture frames unless they are secured. Many people hang picture frames on small nails. Because of this, a broken picture frame is inevitable. Make sure your frames are stable and have multiple contact points if you're going to be hanging them up.

2. Don't put leaning picture frames on small tables. Often, picture frames are accidentally knocked over. If the frame is on a small table, it can fall and break.

Good luck with your framing!

PhotoFrame - A Digital Picture Frame

Hey! Today's article will be talking about an iPhone app called PhotoFrame. I know this is slightly off topic from the rest of the posts on this site, but I really thought this was an excellent app, so I thought I'd tell people about it. Like a glass picture frame, PhotoFrame adds a modern feel to wherever you place it.

With PhotoFrame, you can choose to display an image on the iPhone or iPod Touch screen constantly. You can then rest your device on a stand, so it becomes a picture frame. This is a great idea, and is very simple. You can instantly add a touch of life to your working area with PhotoFrame, and it's cheap and easy. PhotoFrame is also a great app if you have an iPad, because it becomes a larger modern picture frame.

PhotoFrame is only a dollar, and it has received positive reviews. If you're not sure about it, you can check out other reviews, such as the PhotoFrame review at cydia app reviews, or any other app review site. In my opinion, it's a great product, and I've been enjoying the color it adds to my work desk.

Ordering Glass Picture Frames

The following is a guest post by Michael Collins, from http://www.pingo.com. He's going to be writing about different methods of ordering picture frames.

Ordering glass picture frames is a great idea, because in most cases, stores don't supply glass picture frames. This is because these types of frames are fairly new, and most people don't know about them. Because of this, ordering your frames is the best thing to do.

There are many ways to order glass frames. One of the easiest ways is online. On the internet, you can order any product you can find in stores, and many that aren't in stores. Also, shopping on the internet allows you to find the best deals on products, because there are so many options to choose from. If you want glass picture frames, you can instantly find a huge selection of them online, usually at discounted prices.

So what comes next? Most websites have two ways to order. You can order online, or by the phone. Either method works, but some websites don't have the option to order online, so you need to use a phone. If, for whatever reason, you don't have access to a phone, you can use prepaid calling cards. Once you've placed your order, allow time for shipping, and your frames will arrive.

Ordering online is a great way to get glass picture frames, since there is a huge variety, and you can get the cheapest possible price. Good luck shopping!
