I found this wall envelope a while back in the Target Dollar Spot area, with the intention of giving it a makeover.

The wall envelope was part metal and part hardboard.

I used an eyeglass screwdriver to take it apart for painting.

If it wasn't still winter in Minnesota, I would have spray painted the parts.

I knew paint would stick to the hardboard but I wasn't sure about the glossy metal part.

I decided to brush on a coat of Dixie Belle's Slick Stick for glossy surfaces, since spray paint was out of the question.

I let the Slick Stick dry overnight.

I then brushed on two coats of Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Caviar.

This gold butterfly decor transfer was a leftover in my Redesign with Prima transfer scraps.

I rubbed it on the hardboard back center top.

I then squeezed a bit of Rub N Buff Antique Gold onto a newspaper, and used a Dollar Tree brush to apply the gold wax to the metal bottom of the wall envelope.

I waxed the hardboard portion with Dixie Belle's Best Dang Wax in Clear.

I did not wax the antique gold part.

I left a bit of the black base coat showing through for an antique look.

Now onto an easy Easter project a lot like my honeybee frame project HERE.

I started out with an inexpensive, simple black frame. Since the frame was already black, I was able to apply Rub N Buff Antique Gold to it without applying a black base coat.

I found this adorable Easter chick graphic on the Graphics Fairy's site.

I found an Easter song in my vintage songbook, and printed the chick graphic onto it with my inkjet printer.

If you would like to create a book page graphic like this for framing, my February 25, 2023, post with the honeybee will show you how HERE.
