So when I was at IKEA the other day, I got these cute little frames for my desk. I figured at $1.99 they were a good buy. I wanted to paint one green and leave the other two black. This is where things went terribly awry! The paint chipped right off at touch! Then I turned it over. More chipped paint! So I started to take it off! It came right off with my fingernail! Lots of paint remnants. Ugg.
Unpainted frame
It was a MESS!
All cleaned off and ready to start fresh.
Now that I was back to where I started, I sanded the frame with my sanding block to roughen it up. Then I washed it down and let it dry well. This time when I sprayed it with the spray paint, I used thin coats and sprayed it multiple times. The finished product is much better!
So now I have 2 black frames and one green one. I think my favorite photo of Taylor will go into the fancy green frame.
cute frames!
