Create This FUN Framed Art Piece!!!

4 Materials
Take a raw wood frame/plaque and turn it into a Work of Art or re-purpose and old frame - give it new life!!!

Join me for this fun project using Chalky paints, Foils and Roller pattern!
Frame/plaque before I started
I found this frame/plaque at a trade show several years ago - but I'm sure you can find something similar at Hobby Lobby or Michael's.
Plaque painted in DIY Paints Old 57
I started out with painting the Plaque with DIY Paints Old 57 - apply two coats allowing dry time in between.
Dry brushing with Mermaid Tail
I wanted a distressed/weathered look - so Dry Brushing is one of the fastest ways to accomplish this. Just dip your brush into a "little" amount of paint - I used the DIY Paints Mermaid Tail. Wipe off excess paint and with a light hand, brush back in forth until you start get a little color picking up the texture of the surface - I always add more around the edges and add as much as you want.


Adding the Chrysanthemum Stamping Roller
Finishing up my Art Work - I used the Stamping Roller to paint on the Chrysanthemum Pattern. Load the sponge applicator with the color you want to use - I used DIY Paints Crinoline and then load in your stamping roller pattern. Roll onto some craft paper to load the roller before starting your project. Then just roll across the surface adding this beautiful pattern!!!
Plaque completed with Stamping Roller
Next, you will paint the entire frame with DIY Paints Mermaid Tail. Once the paint is dry you will apply the ArtsSyVille Embellishments Foil Adhesive and allow this to dry to a firm tack.


Then take your foil - with pretty side facing up!!! and transfer the foil to the frame using a terry rag or scrub brush. You can transfer as much of the foil color as you desire. I used Teal and Navy Foils.


Once you have applied all the foil you would like - make sure to clear coat with your favorite Top Coat to protect and seal the sticky Foil Adhesive. I do suggest a higher gloss finish to keep the bright and shiny foil finish!!!
Complete project and supplies!!!
