Level up your gallery wall by adding a custom colour to your frames and a unique stenciled  pattern to your photo mats.

How To

1. Work in a well-ventilated area. Remove glass and matting from all frames and place frames on a flat surface covered with a disposable drop cloth. Using a lint-free cloth, wipe all frame surfaces down with Krud Kutter Gloss-Off.
2. Once dry, spray a light coat of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer on all frame surfaces.
3. Once dry, apply 2-3 light and even coats of Painter’s Touch paint in the colour of your choice to the frames.
4. While the frames are drying, place the mats on a clean, covered work surface and lay the stencil down overtop. Apply small pieces of painter’s tape around the edges of the stencil to secure it to the work surface.
5. Load a small amount of Chalked paint in the colour of your choice onto the end of a foam brush, and then dab it on a folded piece of paper towel to remove any excess paint. With an up-and-down dabbing motion, apply the Chalked paint onto the photo mat area of the stencil.
6. Once the stenciled area is complete, carefully remove the painter’s tape and peel the stencil to reveal the pattern.
7. When the frames and mats are all thoroughly dry, reassemble, add artwork and enjoy!
