In this tutorial, you
will see how you can really brighten up a room by applying gorgeous, vibrant finishes
to plain wood frames. We used Cabot Premium Wood Finish in a variety of colors
to match the cool mod look going on in a bedroom for two very cool kids!
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
Check out the new Cabot Premium Wood Finish here: http://www.cabotstain.com/products/pr... or exclusively at Lowe's stores and http://www.lowes.comWe've joined up with Cabot Premium Woodcare and woodworking expert Kiersten Hathcock from www.modmomfurniture.com to show you how to bring your walls to life with customized picture frames.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
Frames
Tarp
Cabot Premium Wood Finish in Citrus, Stormy Teal, Mosaic Blue, Olive Branch and Clothespins
Paint Brushes
Sand Paper (very fine or 300+ grit)
Rag
Water to wash brushes
STEPS:
- Buy unfinished wood frames online or from a local store. When creating photo collages, it's great to use and odd number of frames like 5.
- Remove the glass and set aside.
- Lay each frame out on a covered workspace and make sure the frames are ready for finishing. If rough, they will need a little sanding first. If not, you're ready to go.
- Apply your choice(s) of Cabot Premium Wood Finish to each frame using long, smooth brush strokes. Each frame can be finished using a different color, if you choose.
- Let the finish dry for approximately 2 hours.
- Lightly sand the frames using very fine sand paper and wipe clean.
- Apply a second coat (or more if you would like a richer color) and allow to dry.
- Insert the glass back into the frames and place your favorite photos in your newly finished frames.
- Hang photos in an interesting layout and you have a beautiful, custom collage that is tailor made for your home!
