Dollar Frame Makeover with Mod Melt Crowns


Oh La La ~ We love making over dollar frames! Over the years we have painted them, Mod Podged them and even thumb-tacked them.  Now we are Mod Melting them with gold crowns and rhinestones.

To get the shabby look ~ paint the frame with White craft paint.  Dry-brush paint the frame with a Robin's Egg Blue paint.  Using a loose bristle coarse paintbrush, paint a few highlighted spots with gold craft paint.

Make a handful of Mod Melt crowns.  Paint the crowns with Gold craft paint.  (We like FolkArt paint).  If needed seal the Mod Melt with a coat of Mod Podge Gloss, Matte or Sparkle depending on the look you like.


Glue the Mod Melt crowns and rhinestones to the frame.  Glue a funky trim around the outer edge of the frame.

  1. Now will the coloring techniques be a difference if you use it on the milk glass or the sea glass?
