Patterned frame

Plain old frames are so passe! Go wild and give them a makeover…

You need:

Frame, Tape, Spray paint

Method

• Tape off areas on your frame where you don’t want the paint to stick. We created a chevron pattern using small bits of the tape. You can do straight lines, checks or any design you fancy.

• Lay out newspapers on the floor to avoid spillage from the paint.

• Put your frame flat on the floor and spray once making sure you get a nice even coat.

• Wait for it to dry and spray again adding another coat.

• You memory keepsake is ready!

Dip dyed wooden spoons
