Thrift Store Frame Revamp

Tuesday, February 11, 2014 6:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I did a little DIY craft last week, with some vintage bamboo frames I found at Goodwill for around $2.50 each. I liked the frames, and the fact that there were two of them. But, the art and the frame colors were pretty ugly!

I disassembled the frames and was left with the outsides. I cleaned them up, and then spray painted them gold…

After I spray painted the frames gold, I came back in to make my art. I have loved these heart paintings I saw somewhere online, that are very similar to what I did. (I cannot find the original source. I will post it when/if I find it!)

I saved the old mats from the ugly art work to use as a guideline for my paper, then did the hearts the old school way – I took a piece of computer paper, folded it in half, cut the heart out, then traced them onto the artists paper I used.

I decided to use highlighters as my tracing method, because they wouldn’t show up when I was done. I used hot neon pink and peach paint that I already had..

just plopped some paint onto the paper, and filled it in. easy peasy.

I took the glass out and cleaned it, too:

I put everything back in the frames (I was able to use the old staples that the framer used by just bending them up, to take everything out, and then back down, when it was all back in again.):

(This was posted to my Instagram, @kristenfountaindavis)

and here they are hanging:

I really love them!

Just for fun, I took a couple of pics of the new settee. I put one of my lumbar pillows on it, and it looks like it was made for it…
