Renewing a Plain wooden frame

Hello there! Jenn here today to show you how easy it is to renew a plain wooden frame using Delight® from Creative Paperclay®!

Supplies
Delight® air dry modeling compound
Plain wooden frame 5x7
liquid adhesive (brushable)
Embossing folders (folders used here are all Tim Holtz)
Semi-sharp edged clay spatula
Deco Art Metallic Lustre wax based paints ( used here: Fab Fuschia, Black Shimmer and Brilliant Turquoise)

Start by rolling out Delight® as shown below.

Using a semi sharp edged spatula, cut into smaller strips as shown below.

Grab some embossing folders. Using light pressure push the Delight® compound into the pattern and then remove. Do this for all of your pieces. For less sticking, add some cornstarch dust sparingly to the embossing folder before pressing.
Grab the wooden frame and brush a light amount of liquid glue to the area before wrapping the embossed Delight® piece. continue adding adhesive and embossed pieces until frame is covered as shown below. Use a rounded handle of a paintbrush or other tool to press the pieces together to appear molded.

Trim off excess compound from back and let dry overnight.

Apply black gesso to entire frame both inside and out. Allow it to completely dry.

Now for the magic!!

Using your finger gently rub on alternating colors of DecoArt Metallic Lustre.

COntinue applying until you are satisfied with the results. The picture below shows the magical metallic look that is achieved.

Because Delight® retains so much detail from the embossing, the Metallic Lustre highlights it perfectly.

Thanks so much for viewing my post today! I hope it inspires you to get creative!
