An Up-Cycled Thrift Shop Frame
September 12, 2015
I thought this hinged shutter frame had possibilities when I saw it at the thrift shop.
I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White, and sanded it to distress the edges. I applied a coat of clear wax.
I added a Tim Holtz embellishment, a metal tag that says "Authentic". The tags are available at Amazon or other craft shops too.
