Lets Get Started!

What you will need is primer (if the frame isn't a bland square of raw wood), paint (I chose white and Teal), a paint brush and a ruler, and something to put under your frame so paint doesn't get on your work surface.

You can purchase paint at your local craft store I got mine at Michael's.

Next, you will need to prime old frames that you want to spruce up! Priming your frames will allow you to have the bold colors without a second coat or get rid of an existing design on a frame so you can start with a blank canvas.

Once the primer is done drying you can start drawing on your chevron design.

When you draw your lines on the frame make sure to use pencil and start at the corner. Place you ruler slanted along the edge. Decide the width of the chevron stripe that you want I did mine a quarter of an inch thick; therefore I placed the ruler a quarter of an inch from the first line. Next, mirror the two lines that you just created. Repeat this process all the way down the frame.
