Materials:
- A picture frame ($1-$10)
- Black acrylic paint ($1)
- A paint brush/sponge ($1)
- Newspaper (free)
Step one:
- Take the frame apart and paint one side of the glass with the black paint, making long even strokes
- Wait for the paint to dry completely (or if you are impatient like me blow dry it)
- Paint a second coat….wait for it to dry
- After the second coat is dry hold it up to a light source and if any light comes through
- If any light comes through add another coat
- repeat until no light shows through
Step two:
- Flip the glass over to see if any paint go on the reflective side, if so gently scrape it off
- Take some glass cleaner or a natural alternative and clean the fingerprints off of the glass
Step three:
- Carefully resemble the frame, being wary of the paint on the back
Final Product:
Enjoy! In total this DIY took me 25-30 minutes (mostly due to drying time)
