Everyone knows how the environment is changing, you just have to hang a few pictures on the wall. Especially such, you know, solid, luxurious, in a heavy gilded frame. But, it is worth asking for such frames for paintings in framing workshops, as grief and sadness embrace - the desire to possess such works slowly, but surely, flows into the category of dreams set aside for a bright distant future.
Do not rush to part with desires. You can create a magnificent decoration for your home in just a few hours and with minimal financial investment. This workshop will tell you step by step how to create such a picture with your own hands.

Picture frame


We will need:
• several plates of ceiling borders
• putty on wood
• black or dark brown acrylic paint
• gold acrylic paint
• acrylic lacquer
• glue moment
• an unnecessary piece of cardboard or an old box
• picture

The basis for the picture can serve as the front side of the box of chocolates.
Mark the work surface. To do this, gently crop the picture, lay it on the box and draw a marker on all sides, measuring the dimensions of our future baguette. Top and side.

We cut the border, making sure that the joint angle is smooth and accurate.

The most creative part begins.
Carefully cover the skirting with putty, carefully lubricating each cavity and recess. Leave to dry.

Using a thin paint brush, paint the frame twice, each time giving it a good dry.

Squeeze the gold paint from the tube onto a horizontal surface.

take the gold paint


Using a dry sponge we take a very small amount of gold. We start gilding our product. The movements should be light, sliding, practically weightless. The gilding frame should be slightly “grated”. The movements should be as if you are dusting the surface. Explicitly protruding, large parts of the picture are painted with a thin artistic brush. After a little effort, you should get this result:

paint the baseboard


It remains only to paste our picture into place and hang the composition on the wall.

    Very practical and effective, I myself considered this option, but there is not enough glass. Without glass, the picture quickly gets dirty, especially in the kitchen, especially if it is charcoal or watercolor.

    Cool frame! And it’s not difficult. And instead of glass, you can insert plastic, such as on toy packaging, but where can I get such sheets? Maybe in office supplies you can find something similar.

    Cool idea) Instead of glass, you can use plexiglass up to 2mm thick (acrylic glass sheet 1x1.5m)
