You will need:
5"x7" Wood Laser Frame - available at Michaels Arts & Crafts stores
DecoArt® Americana® Acrylic paint:
Bittersweet (Brown) and Snow (Titanium) White
DecoArt® Americana® Weathered Wood™ Crackling Medium
Decorative Twigs
Potpourri Mix (for Small Pine Cones, etc)
Glue Gun
Small Sea Sponge
Sponge Brush
1. Paint the
front of the frame brown. Let dry
then re-paint with an even coat of crackling medium. Let dry thoroughly.
2. Using the
sea sponge, dab white paint on top of the crackling medium. Use a hair dryer or heat embossing tool
to expedite the drying process. As
the white paint dries the crackle medium will crack to reveal the brown paint
underneath.
3. Use a glue
gun to adhere twigs, pine cones and other embellishments to the center of the
frame at the top.
4. Place the
frame on the wall around a small grapevine wreath, photo, etc. for a unique
holiday decoration.
This is the third frame in the Christmas series.
I'll post the instructions for this next week, so y'all come back now........
Yours truly,
Julie :)
Hi Julie, I have many of your books, your designs are beautiful. I have seen this frame
ReplyDeletein Michael's but I didn't know how to use it until now. This is a great idea for Christmas ornaments and for using vintage photos. which I will use for mine. Thanks for sharing this and for all your beautiful designs.
I'm sorry for using 'anonymous' - I didn't understand the other profiles or how to use them. Hope you enjoy the holidays - all the best from Michelle Clare
