How to replace a cracked iPhone screen for under $7!

My friend's son dropped his iPhone and broke the screen.

{pause for the screaming and crying!}

When we were in the US last weekend, there was a booth where it would take a week, but they would replace your screen for $100! Anyone know what it would cost here in Canada?

So when I came across this tip on Pinterest, I thought everyone with an iPhone would want to know about it! Just in case you ever need to...

I watched a YouTube video on how to do it lol... Just make sure you watch the one that gives you info on the antenna... Obviously, mine did not!
