So one of the most awesome things about yard sales is really awkward framed "art". Why is it so awesome? Because you can get them for $0.25 and revamp them! One of our neighbors had a moving sale, so I guess past neighbors now, and was getting rid of this framed drawing? painting? print? Wasn't really sure I got it for the actual frame and matting.
Step one: take off that weird brown parchment paper off the back.
Step two: pull out matting, painting/print thing and glass
Step three: clean glass, have a photo/print/etc ready
Step four: fix frame/modge podge/paint (my case put over the base brown a crackle glaze and then a white matte paint)
Step five: put it all back together
It goes from being a terrible weird framed thing to a cheap yet usefully awesome piece of art!

Fantastic job!! I have several frames with ugly art just waiting for me to rescue them! :)
ReplyDeleteCool frame! I love inexpensive redos like this. Thanks for linking up to Project Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I just bought a gigantic framed piece of "art" at a garage sale so I could use the frame for something else. I paid $5 but for the size and quality of frame it was well worth it!
