Out with the fake art

Found this at D D's Discount for $8. Yeah, I know. I am not a fan of the fake art either. But I wanted to use the frame. So I took this thing apart and got my measurments.
I used bead board and applied 3 coats of the magnetic paint. Once that was dry I painted it red.

Once the red layer was dry I used an inking technique using paint. I sprayed some of my black paint into a little puddle and dipped a small section of my rag into it. Using my rag I dabbed it along the creases of the bead board and around the edge to create some depth.


Then I placed it in the frame and now I have a great magnet board for my kitchen.




Do you love???
