I bought a few picture frames from a garage sale spending $2 for both. I was looking everywhere for some I wanted but did not want to pay $30 plus on them. It only took me about an hours worth of work, a little sweat and I LOVE THEM. One will be for a family picture and the other for a prop when we do a photo sessions : )
You will need:
Picture frame made of real wood, (if you are looking at garage sale look at frames with pictures in them too..they might just sale the frame to you)
Sand paper
Paint thinner
Spray paint or stain.
First you will sand down your picture frame. Make sure you get all the gloss and either the old paint or stain removed. Second use your paint thinner and put about a quarter size into a rag (so you do not need much). You will want to make sure you clean the frame from all the dust that accumulated.
Last but not least, you are ready to paint your frames. You will want to do one coat, let it dry and do a second or third if needed.
Easy as that...you did not spend a lot of money and you can customize them to what you want!!!
Have a great day!
