ANIKA'S DIY LIFE

I am using these with Christmas printables for now but these will finally go on the white wall opposite the colorful accent wall in the kids’ room.

With all that color going on, I wanted to bring in some warm wood tones. but we have a very special set of baby pictures of the kids that have been in their room forever!

How to Make a Simple Photo Frame

Materials

– Plywood  – Plexiglass  – Masking tape – ¾” wood screws – Stain of your choice  – White wood grain enhancer – Black wood grain enhancer – Steel brush – Straight edge and box cutter

Step 1

Start by staining the plywood in the color of your choice. I used Golden Oak because it closely matches the Hardwood flooring in the room.

Step 2

If you are using the grain enhancer, wipe the surface with water to help pop the grain. When the surface is still wet, scrub it with the steel brush.

Step 3

Once the surface is dried, wipe it well and apply the wood grain enhancer against the grain. Wipe it off after a few minutes with a light hand in the same direction you applied it.
