Valentine Photo Frame

2009-09-25T16:57:00.000-07:00

What you'll need:

Acrylic paint: dark pink, pink, peach, purple
Acrylic gesso (optional) (recommended: Liquitex Basics Gesso)
Paintbrush
Wooden photo frame
Craft jewels
Glue (recommended: white craft glue or Gem-Tac brand glue)
Acrylic sealer spray

How to make it:

Paint the frame with a coat of gesso. (See image.) Gesso is a craft medium that helps provide a good surface for paint to grab. You can skip this step and paint with white paint. Allow to dry.
Paint the frame in four sections, each section being a different color (purple, pink, dark pink, peach). (See image.)
When paint is dry, spray frame with acrylic sealer and allow to dry for about an hour.
Use glue to decorate the frame with craft jewels. We used some sticker craft jewels and some that needed to be glued on.

Tips:

You can buy large variety packs of craft jewels that contains all different sizes, shapes and colors to be used in a variety of projects.
You can use white craft paint in place of Gesso as a medium.
Some craft jewels are self stick, just peel them off their backing and stick to your project!
