DIY Picture Frame Tutorials You’ll Have to Try
Are you interested in trying a DIY picture frame? One of my favorite ways to decorate a frame is with Mod Podge – get tons of great ideas here!
DIY Picture Frame
Most people don’t know that one of my first projects with Mod Podge was a frame. They also don’t know that I had to deal with a lot of wrinkles and it finally ended up going in the garbage. A lot has changed since then!
Picture frames are a great place to begin if you’ve never Mod Podged before. One of my suggestions to newbies is to grab an inexpensive wood frame from the craft store – they are $1 – $2 per frame and perfect for practicing on.
Preparing Your Wood Frame
When you purchase a wooden frame from the craft store, especially one that’s inexpensive, sometimes the wood needs a little bit of sanding to make it smooth.
If that’s the case, just take a piece of sandpaper (medium to light grit) and run it over the frame in the rough areas. When you’re done, make sure to remove all of the sanding dust with a tack cloth.
If you want to paint your frame with acrylic paint, this is the time to do it. Let your DIY photo frame fully dry before you start any decoupaging.
