Redo those old wooden picture frames

Select a primary color for your frame. I painted an old natural wood frame with vibrant black paint.
Then I made a very watery mixture of water and a secondary color (I used green with a hint of glitter in it). Think of it as a color wash for your frame.
Let the primary coat dry.
Then take your color wash mixture and brush it on the frame generously. The accent color will run like a river in the crevices and niches of your frame. This will give it the pizzazz factor like those frames in the gift shop .
