Dora Dekker

Hello everyone!!
What a great challenge again, I love old frames and when I see them in a antique shop I need to buy them. Like I did with this beauty.

I painted it white, a fewe layers that's all I did.
Removed the back of the frame, made a little box out of cardstock and placed it behind the frame.
After that I started decorating and as you can see, it looks like an old sewing studio.
Hope you like my altered frame!






Tesa Broman

Hi! I have made a vintage looking altered frame out of an old metal colored frame I got from a flee market for nothing.


I wanted to frame a vintage tag of Santa so I went for a white crackled look by painting the frame with Gesso and then uneaven coat of Antique Linnen Crackle Paint and then a coat of gesso again. Finally I inked the edges with some chalk.


The inner part of the frame has a line of Puffies Cream - like snow... A flower and a few leafs finish it off.


I have the perfect spot for this one on the wall next to our Christmas tree.

Aren't these frames just lovely? We would love to see your altered frames for LESSology Challenge #8: Frame of Life! :) The deadline for entries is Sunday January 8, 11.59pm EST. Please read the challenge rules to ensure your eligibility for our prizes
