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.

about diy & decor paint: Premixed and ready to go, Tattered Angels Decor & DIY Paint requires no sanding, priming or pre-mixing. Just open, stir and apply directly onto the surface. In addition, no topcoat is required (a wax finish is optional but not necessary). The durable smooth finish will bring new life to vintage or outof-date pieces, or give color to new found objects. One to two coats are recommended while additional coats will make the finish even more durable. Paints are sold in 8 ounce containers (one cup of DĂŠcor & DIY paint will cover approx. 25 sq. ft). Decor and DIY Paint is available in 28 fresh, trendy colors. Our palette offers a wide range of colors that work well for any design style from shabby chic, modern, vintage, trendy or eclectic and anywhere in-between. Our offering of 28 colors can be blended together to create new colors. To lighten any color, add white. Add black to darken. The colors will darken as they dry, so we recommend testing new color combinations and allowing it to dry before proceeding with a final painting project.
