First, sand the wooden picture frame with sandpaper and clean the surface. There is no need to sand it too deeply, just rub it lightly. Next, use a damp, lint-free cleaning cloth to clean off any residue on the surface of the frame. This step is to prepare the frame for subsequent application of paint, leaving the surface smooth and free of bumps. Once the surface of the picture frame is dry it is ready to be painted.

Before you pick up your brush and apply, design how you want your frame to look. The example in the picture uses two colors, and retains part of the original color of the wood. The combination is natural and fresh, with a seaside flavor. Before painting, cover the areas you don't want color with tape so that you can remove the tape later to create a perfect cut.

Once you've painted your frames and let them dry completely, you're ready to hang them on the wall. First trace the outline of the photo frame on handmade paper with chalk, then cut out along the line and stick it on the wall to design how the photo frame will hang. Nail the photo hook to the photo frame and prepare it to hang on the wall. Use the handmade paper just taped to the wall to find the most appropriate hanging position.
