How to build (easy) custom vintage gold frame

I made a Vintage-style frame for my canvas painting! I built my diy frame using wood trim from the hardware store, then painted it black and covered it with a gold wax. This combination made my frame look like a real gold vintage frame! I love the worn metal look and also just love how the ornate design complements my art. I'll show you how to make wood look like metal and how to create a metallic gold finish on a wood frame. This is an awesome diy room decor project and really adds to my diy bedroom decor!

Products I used in this video:
- Wood trim: Home Depot
- Gold paint (acrylic from Michaels)

Absolutely beautiful frame and art work. I’ve always joked that I can only draw stick people but love art so much, and have always secretly wished I had the gift. I’ve learned to create other things but still, even over the age of 65, I’ve never had the courage to paint like you did. You’ve encouraged me to give it a try, God bless you. You’re a doll. Thank you so much for sharing.

It looks beautiful! The frame just makes your gorgeous painting pop and enhances it to bring out the colors even more. I love it! ❤️

It looks amazing and really makes your painting stand out even more!! I also love that you showed all the things you had to move to film. You’re always so good about showing how much extra work there is to doing what you do. I appreciate how real you keep things!

You have direct light falling on the canvas. To prevent fading and damage, finish the painting with a UV protective top coat and either move the painting or close window light during the hours it falls on the canvas. ❤ I love your spirit!

This is proof i need a saw room!! I was just as excited to see that set up and all the stuff i would crank out. Perfect frame!❤

[elinakatarii]

Wait omg this is STUNNING!!! I love vintage frames and always struggle to find them at flea markets etc but I'll definitely look into making my own too now! Your painting is the cherry though, absolutely gorgeous ❤

[shy_vibe]

Ahhhh! You did such an amazing job!!!! I love it

[marlenomahony]

I loved your advice about refreshing your knowledge for power tools before using them again. Both the painting and frame are beautiful. Thanks

I am so bless to have you…so encouraging…honestly my heart is beating as if I’m unable to do but hopefully will do…God bless you and your hubby 🕊

I was just on Pinterest and I was like Dalia probably has a video about a Diy frame and wow my intuition was right!! Thank you for the content you create for doing it yourself projects!! 🤍

The painting is so nice and calming. The frame looks beautiful. I love the black peeking out from the beautiful gold on top.

[katrish]

It turned out perfect, thanks for sharing that.

[artthathealsthesoul]

Omg it came out PHENOMENAL!!! I am also a crafty person and am obsessed with DIYS and you truly inspire Thank you SO MUCH!!!

[kimosabe]

This frame is absolutely stunning!! Honestly it’s everything I’ve been looking for (esp since the frame I recently bought for a ridiculous amt of dollhairs was SO not worth the price or craftsmanship) so thank you for the inspo!!! Can’t wait to try this project!

[mrobrazprints]

Wow, I really appreciate the thorough explanation you provided! This method will definitely enhance the appearance of my prints. Thank you so much!

[april]

You impress me with every project you do!! So pretty 😍

When I first started DIY-ing, I needed a lot of encouragement, but over time I've discovered that "if you can see it you can create it" (: Well done!

[lindamarlow]

Absolutely beautiful. Keep on painting. Fabulous job. Love watching your videos each week. Looking forward to next video.

[nicoletimmons]

Thank you so much for making this video! I had a frame that had a cool vintage finish, but I *thought* what I wanted was just bright gold so I spray-painted it. Then I started collecting other paintings and they all have cool vintage frames so now I want to make the one I spray-painted look vintage once again! Thanks to your video I feel confident that I can do it!!

[Susannah.N]

This is so cool and inspiring! I love how you painted it black first, I never would've thought to do that!
