By: Barbara Swanson for Krylon

Fall paint colors and wood leaf cutouts combine to make a simple frame from Krylon something special.

Fall Decorative Picture Frame

Materials:

Instructions:

Following the manufacturer’s directions, base coat the front and back of the frame with 2 to 3 coats of Hosta Leaf.
Base coat the top of the leaves as follows – Bauhaus Gold: three small and three large leaves; Georgia Clay: two small and two large leaves; and Burgundy: three small and three large leaves. (Crafting tip: Temporarily affix each group of leaves to a separate piece of cardboard, using loops of masking tape for each leaf. Paint the leaves and allow to dry while on the board. This makes them easier to handle.)
Add veining to each leaf, using the leafing pens as follows: 18 KT. Gold veins on each Bauhaus Gold leaf, Silver veins on each Burgundy leaf, and Copper veins on each Georgia Clay leaf.
Glue spacers to each of the following: one large Burgundy leaf, one small Burgundy leaf, one large Georgia Clay leaf, and one large Bauhaus Gold leaf.
Glue the leaves to the frame, referring to the model for suggested placement.
