DIY Hammered Gold Picture Frame

Posted by Honor on Friday, April 26, 2013, In : Decor Crafts

Aren't they purdy? I am just lovin how they turned out. I have a slight confession to make, I am an ugly picture frame hoarder. Bum bum bum baaah. Just can't help myself! Ever since I learned how to make mercury glass or antique mirrors, I've been snatching up any goodwill/thrift store/swap meet shenanigans I can get my hands on. So needless to say I have a huge stash that I can 'operation craft' on. But a house can handle only so many antique mirrors. Time to spruce up the frames and let th...

      My hubs told me about this and I had to try it out to see if it really works. And it does!

      Old wood has such a warm and familiar patina. Like favorite park picnic benches. Time worn barns. Brings back the memories.
      We have this great black and white photo of the hubs grand pappy and a new sparkly frame just didn't do it justice. So I picked up an unfinished wood frame from Hobby Lobby for a whopping $2.99 and made this beauty. Really like how this came out and I think ...

This weekend I went on my bi-weekly expeditions to anthropologie to get inspired and see if there was anything I couldn't live without.
