Fun Frame Designs
Why let broken frames go to waste when you can transform them into this!
The hardest part about painting a picture frame, is deciding what to paint on it! This frame already had a layer of white paint on it from a previous project, but for you, I suggest putting a layer of gesso or primer on it first to provide adhesive for your paint. Once you've found your idea, do a light sketch on your frame. It will be harder to remove or hide dark pencil marks once you've started painting, so stay as light as you can. I struggle with this, so to correct myself, I gently erase my lines before I paint them so I can just barely see the sketch, and this way it doesn't show through light paint colors. My paint of choice for this project was Acrylic, because it dries fast and is an easy clean-up. Remember to paint the inside and side of you frame if you decide to fill your entire frame with design. Other than that, have fun! Take your time, and remember...
