    • 1). Lay a towel on top of a tabletop or other flat surface and then place the desired picture frame on top of it with the back facing upward.

    • 2). Insert the glass into the frame followed by a picture mat, if desired. Place the photograph or artwork on top of them with the finished side facing downward.

    • 3). Pick up a metal glazing point and place it at the top left side of the frame with the triangle side wedged barely between the artwork and the frame.

    • 4). Place a flat-head screwdriver on top of the glazing point at the location of the small raised ridge. Tap the top of the screwdriver head with a hammer very gently. Continue tapping the glazing point until the raised ridge is flush with the bottom edge of the frame.

    • 5). Insert additional glazing points around the perimeter of the frame in the same manner at 10- to 12-inch intervals, or at least one per side. You can use more glazing points if the artwork feels loose or gaps are present.
