Step 2: Paint Away
We used matte black milk paint. The frames needed two coats of paint. Let the first coat dry, before applying the next.
Step 3: Sponge Painting
Sponge paint to accent the frame. We used DecoArt metallic gold paint and a kitchen sponge for this.
Step 4: Showcasing Your New Frames
We wanted to showcase our Alice art in an awesome way so we looked for a larger frame. We found this monster frame on sale at a picture frame store, because the side was cracked "YES!" This was one of those collage frames that hold a bunch of different pictures behind cardboard...is that what they're called? We said bye-bye to the cardboard.
Step 5: Preparing the Large Frame
After some super glue and sanding, we used DecoArt metallic silver paint and sponge painted the same way as we did the small black frames.
Step 6: Hanging the Small Frames in the Large Frame
These dollar store frames are a really light weight plastic, so we used heavy-duty double sided tape to hold them on the cardboard. Check out the art!
Step 8: Have Fun at the Party!
That's my daughter dressed like Alice among some more easy to make dollar store decor.
