Prep and Paint
- Lightly sand wood frame with a sanding block to smooth the frame and remove any oils and imperfections.
- Paint frame with DecoArt Americana Country Red Acrylic Paint*. (allow paint to dry)
Making Stripes
- Add strips of painter’s tape onto the frame to make stripes. Rub your finger over the tape to make sure that the tape is securely on the frame and has no gaps.
- Paint inside the stripes with black paint. Be careful not to apply the paint too thick. Only one thin coat of paint is needed.
- Remove painter’s tape.
- Allow black paint to fully dry before continuing to the next step.
Making the Plaid
- Rotate the frame and apply the tape in the opposite direction. Make sure the tape is securely on the frame.
- Paint additional stripes.
Sanding and Finishing
- Lightly sand the frame after dry. Sanding brings out the woodgrain and helps to hide any little imperfection.
- Wipe the frame smooth with a clean cloth.
- Apply the Carta Bella Christmas Market Chipboard Accents to front of frame.
