A) Use a project knife to cut the canvas loose from the back of the frame. Remove the canvas and set aside.
Use a hammer to flatten the staples so they are flush with the wood frame. This will be the back of the frame.
Step 2:
Apply double-sided tape to the back of the frame.
Flip the frame over to the front and center it over the canvas. Press the frame onto the canvas.
Use a project knife to cut around the frame and remove the extra canvas.
Your frame is now ready to paint!
Step 3:
Cover the frame and canvas with black chalkboard paint. Let dry.
Use sandpaper to distress the edges of the frame.
Step 4:
Print out the template. Make a photocopy, if necessary. Note: If you have an inkjet printer, the ink will bleed when you apply the coffee. You will need to make a photocopy of the print before completing the rest of the craft. If you have a laser printer, you won't need to make any copies.
Brew a cup of coffee and let it cool.
Use a paint brush to apply coffee to the paper.
A) Add another layer of coffee stain if you’d like. You can add drips and splatters, too!
Step 5:
Apply a thin layer of deco podge onto the back of your paper. Note: Work quickly so it does not dry out.
Lay the paper face-up onto the framed canvas.
Use your fingers to press the paper onto the canvas, smoothing it out and removing any air bubbles.
Apply a thin layer of deco podge over the whole front of the canvas and paper. Let dry.
