Wood frames

Wood picture frames...

1. pick out the paper you want to use.

2. cut paper to the sizes you need it to be. I use an exacto knife or scissors.

3. paint your frame the color you want it.

4. I like the antiqued took on things, so this one I buffed up the edges using a sanding block.

5. smear mod podge over the surface of the frame using a sponge brush. Used a good amount.

6. place the paper where you want it and then rub flat with fingers. I use a hard flat object to get bubbles out and to really get it flat and smooth.
7. Let it dry about 10-15 minutes.

8. If you want to chalk the edges, I use a foam ink sponge and blot it on my ink pad and then rub it on the edge of what I want a little color.
9.Mod podge entire surface again and place second color where you want it and repeat step 6.

10. Let dry another 10-15 minutes.

11. lightly mod podge over whole thing and then let dry.

Your all done!

Here are a few other frames I have done...
