Project Description: Do you love walking around flea markets and garage sales? At Tattered Angels, these are our favorite places to find objects, old and new, that are in need of a little love. This tutorial shows an easy way to spruce up those old photo frmaes that you find at a flea market, or are just laying around the house.
materials: 1. Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist “Gold” 2. Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam “Icicle” 3. Tattered Angels High Impact Metallic “Light Gold” 4. Tattered Angels DIY Paint 5. Gesso
tools: 1. Flea Market Frame 2. Brushes 3. Heater (optional)
STEPS:
1.
Prep a photo frame with gesso or white paint. Apply a layer of Tattered Angels DIY paint. In most circumstances, only 1 coat is necessary.
2. 3.
When semi dry, spray glimmer mist across the entire frame to add shimmer.
4.
Leave to completely dry and then add a thin layer of Glimmer Glaze to finish it off.
After drying (use a heater if you are in a hurry) apply High Impact paint where suitable. On this frame, the HIP was added to highlight the relief pattern, allowing the paint to soak in the crevices.
