DIY Distressed Frame - How To Make A New Picture Frame Look Old

Don't spend money on old antique or boutique frames when you can make a cheap one from the Dollar Store, even, look like an old one! With just a little paint and a dry brush technique, you can have a vintage or antique look in no time! Decor
This frame used to be black. With just a little white paint I made it look like an old frame, with chippy paint.
Started with a plastic black frame from the Dollar Store.
Adding thin coat of paint to give the frame an old weathered look.

    Must try this -- I notice some of the $ Tree frames have good bones, although they're plastic! I'm interested in chalk paint and am going to give that a whirl. Thanks for sharing. :)
