My makeover today started with an 11 x 14 inch thrift shop frame. Here's HOW I DID IT:
1. I painted the frame with Fusion Mineral Paint in the "Algonquin". Algonquin is a nice greige. Fusion Mineral paint usually covers in one coat or 1 1/2 (to catch spots I missed), and there is no priming, sanding or topcoat needed.
2. I used the "Vintage" stencil from *Old Sign Stencils FARMERS' MARKET extension stencils kit. With the purchase of the Farmers' Market stencil and extensions, you can make signs like Vintage Market, SuperMarket, Flea Market, Flower Market and projects like this frame.
3. I taped the "Vintage" stencil on the glass backwards so that the paint will be on the inside of the glass. I then used a small foam roller and FolkArt Multisurface paint in "Licorice". This paint works very well with glass. I rolled on two coats. The small sponge roller is made by Rimobul. I like that I don't have to waste much paint filling up a larger roller.
I received complimentary stencils from Old Sign Stencils and paint from Fusion Mineral Paint. All opinions about the products are mine.
*Old Sign Stencils provided me with complimentary samples.
All opinions about these fabulous products are my own.

I love it! Your stencils are great.
ReplyDeleteI like it. And I think I have that frame, or at least one very similar. I'll have to look.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. You're right about the HeatnBond. I use the heavier type for non sewing applications. The lite is best for sewing as the heavier type backing sticks to the needle. You are constantly coming up with great ideas. Thanks for the inspiration. Karen.
ReplyDeleteIs the dog for sale?? My grandmother had that exact one and when she passed away a very greedy niece came in and scooped up all her treasures. I would love to get one to replace it.
ReplyDeleteSorry no. The dog is part of my vintage dog figurine collection.
DeleteI like these calm elegant colors. The "Vintage" and texture make to feel urge to touch them. Nice effect :)
