Don't Throw Away That Frame!

Easy
I find myself saying that a lot these days!
When my husband came home with this frame, he said, “It was only $10 and some of the molding around it is broken off… but I thought you could fix it.”
He totally gets me. lol

But there was a catch, one corner was busted up.
I thought about this for a while and ended up trying Bondo. I knew it would be paintable and should be somewhat forgiving.
I did 2 coats of chalk paint. Here it is after the first coat… you can tell it’s still wet.
I grabbed some sand paper and went over some of the edges lightly to bring out the gold that was still hiding underneath. Then slapped in a pre-made chalkboard and here she is!
That’s it! I am so in love with these shabby chic frames and chalkboards. I have them all over my house and never get tired of them.
Enjoyed the project?
