Three small framed pictures of nature, featuring a dragonfly, flower with bee, and bird, are set inside a larger ornate blue frame on a blue wall. — Finished frame using Polishing Plaster

So gorgeous and EASY. The hardest thing about this project was hanging it.

SUPPLIES: Perfect Paints Polishing Plaster #1080 Boho Blue

Other Supplies: Stipple brush, Old ornate wood frame, paper towels, picture hanging supplies and tools.

Instructions:

Clean the frame thoroughly and let dry for 24 hours.
The frame I started with.
Apply Polishing Plaster #1080 Boho Blue generously with a stipple brush over the entire frame, but working in small sections about 12" or less at a time.

Use a paper towel to wipe off the Polishing Plaster #1080 Boho Blue from the raised areas. Wipe each section before moving on to apply more Polishing Plaster to the next section.

Be sure to cover the inside ledges, too.
Let the frame dry completely. Touch up any areas as needed and hang in your space as desired.

This is the grouping in my home. It's the beginning of a large "wall of art". The colors compliment each other and the style is whimsical, but nature inspired. Yes, my bedroom walls are that bright blue and there's gold glitter in the paint as well!
