Easy Frame Redo


Hello my friends !! Today I did a simple redo of the frame on a picture given to me. I didn't like the nasty green color the frame was so what do I do ? Repaint it ! Super simple. 
Here's what it looked like: 






The first step is to cover under the area where you will be painting. I did get the whole underneath covered as you'll see in the next pic. Gather everything you need: masking tape, paint brush, paint, razor blade, and optional Envirotex high gloss spray. 
Tape the inside edge where the glass is, like this:





I chose to use Martha Stewart Metallic Paint in the color "Antique Gold". It's what I used for the rest of the frames in my living room. You can get this at Home Depot. My brush is from a Martha Stewart brush set, and I got that at Michael's.



Next I painted the frame twice, letting it dry in between coats. 





When it was completely dry I sprayed on Envirotex High Gloss Clear Sealer. 
You can get this at Michael's. This part is optional, I used it mainly because I have it on hand.



After letting it sit for about an hour, it was done. It now will match the other frames in my living room. I love this color too, it's subtle shimmer is beautiful. :) What do you think ? 




What DIY crafts have you done ? 
I'd love to see what creative projects you've worked on. :)
