Old Frame Made New

You'll Need:

Old wood frame

Acrylic paint

Sandpaper

Paint brush

Step 1: Sand the frame.  Just enough to take the shine off the wood. 

(I skipped this step since mine was so rough to begin with.)

Be sure to wipe the dust off!

               Step 2:   Place paper or                                           tape around edges.                                This will save you time scraping paint off the mirror later. 

Step 3: Paint.

     (Put your kids to work.)

                                                              

Step 4: Remove paper/tape and scrape paint off of the mirror.

Let dry and Enjoy!
