My collection of driftwood was the inspiration for this simple project!
BEFORE
To get the driftwood look for this white frame I used wood stain and craft paint.
This large frame was the door to our entertainment center. If you would like to see how I repurposed it, you can read about it here.
HOW TO GET THE DRIFTWOOD LOOK FOR YOUR FRAME
The first thing I did was remove the glass. I wanted a lighter frame to hang on my newly painted plank wall.
Then I sanded the white paint, just to rough it up. I used weathered gray wood stain and burnt umber craft paint.
This is my own method on how to make painted wood look like driftwood:
SUPPLIES:
sandpaper
foam brush
cloth
wood stain
water
latex gloves to protect your hands!
Using a foam brush, I brushed on the stain. Then I rubbed the stain into the white paint with a soft cloth. Next, I used a damp cloth and wiped some of the stain off. I Added more stain and continued the process.
Then let it dry!
Here is what the frame looked like before I added the craft paint. It's a pretty grey, but not weathered enough to look like driftwood.
The final step to get the driftwood look is applying the craft paint! I used a cloth to apply the craft paint. I rubbed the craft paint into the stain and wiped it with a damp cloth. Let it dry...
AND
That's it...Now I have the driftwood look! I added the doorknob from the entertainment center to cover the nail.
