Painting Front of Picture Frame

Video Transcript

"Now that the coat of base paint that I've put on has dried I'm going to go ahead and color the picture frame with my yellow acrylic paint. Now I'm not so worried about the texture underneath of the masking tape and the white base paint which also went on kind of thick because the texture is kind of a, I kind of like having a, the little bit of texture on the outside of the picture frame. It makes it look a little bit nicer and so I don't mind that effect. Now when I use the paint I'm going to be using a solid color because I'm going to be decorating it with a lot of beads and I don't want it to be too, look too kind of busy so to speak. Now this step is going to need to take a little time after it's done. We're going to have to put the picture frame aside and let it dry so in planning your project if you're going to be using a different type of decoration, I'm going to be using beads and that's really the last thing that we need to do here so the beads don't really need too much preparation but if you're going to be using different types of colors or need to cut out shapes or whatever other type of decorations you might want to use, this might be a good time to prepare it while the picture frame is drying. Now, it's important to go around the sides too where we put the masking tape. You don't have to go all the way to the back obviously but you should definitely put a layer of paint along the outer edges which are, which were covered with masking tape. So cover the outer edges, cover the surface of the picture frame and once it's done we'll put it aside and we'll let it dry and then we'll be ready to glue our beads on to the picture frame. So now I've shown you how to paint the outside of the picture frame."
