Instructions

  • Remove the frame back and spray paint or paint your frame with acrylic paint (color of your choice).

  • Remove the backer of your frame that you can use to create a background. If your frame doesn't have one, create it with cardboard and a craft knife.

  • Lay your frame back down onto your sheet of scrapbook paper and trace. Cut it out with your craft knife.

  • Use your flat paintbrush to paint a medium layer of Mod Podge onto your frame back. Coat thoroughly.

  • Quickly place down your scrapbook paper and SMOOTH. Keep smoothing until all of the bubbles are removed. You can use your hands - you see that I am using a brayer. Love this tool; great investment if you don't have one! Allow to dry for 15 - 20 minutes.

  • Once the paper is dry, paint over the top with Mod Podge. Apply a medium coat and allow to dry again.
