Transforming a simple black vintage frame into a stunning gold masterpiece is easier than you might think. Follow these steps to create a beautiful gold frame for your gallery wall and use watercolor prints from Goodfairyart, all for just a few dollars.
Materials Needed:
- A $4 used black vintage frame from Goodwill
- Vintage gold Rub 'n Buff
- Soft cloth or brush
- Mild soap and water
- Painter’s tape
- Watercolor print from Goodfairyart
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare Your Frame
- Start by cleaning the vintage frame. Use mild soap and water to remove any dust, dirt, or residue. Let the frame dry completely.
- If the frame has a glass insert, carefully remove it and set it aside to avoid getting paint on it.
- Protect Areas You Don't Want Painted
- Use painter’s tape to cover any areas of the frame that you don’t want to be painted, such as intricate details or the inside edges.
- Apply the Rub 'n Buff
- Put a small amount of vintage gold Rub 'n Buff on a soft cloth or brush.
- Gently rub the gold onto the frame, working in small sections. Apply more as needed until the entire frame is covered.
- For a more polished look, you can buff the frame with a clean cloth once the Rub 'n Buff has been applied.
- Let It Dry
- Allow the frame to dry completely, usually a few hours, to ensure the Rub 'n Buff sets properly.
- Insert Your Artwork
- Once the frame is dry, carefully remove the painter’s tape.
- Reinsert the glass and place your watercolor print from Goodfairyart inside the frame.
- Secure the back of the frame and make sure everything is aligned correctly.
- Display Your Masterpiece
- Find the perfect spot in your home to display your newly transformed gold frame with the beautiful watercolor print.
By using a few simple materials and a bit of creativity, you can easily elevate a basic black vintage frame into a gorgeous gold frame that perfectly complements your Goodfairyart print. This project not only enhances your art but also adds a touch of elegance to your home decor. Enjoy your stunning new piece!
Final Tips:
