Upcycle, the process of transforming something old into something usable. Have you ever given upcycling a go or maybe you want to but aren’t sure where to start, help is at hand.
Photo frames are a household staple and after awhile they can end up looking a little unkempt or we fall out of love with them because they no longer fit in with our current decor. Often our first thought is to get rid of the frame by throwing it out which adds to our ever growing throwaway society, however with a little effort a frame can go from looking unappealing to gorgeous in a matter of minutes. All it takes is a fresh coat of paint and a little sanding.
Gather your supplies:
Frame
Paint brush
Paint
Sandpaper – P240 fine grit
Cloth
Paper – for work surface protection
Paint can opener
Something to place frame on while drying
Frame and equipement
