Garage Sale Floating Frame Stenciled Succulent/Cactus Wall Art

October 10, 2019

I shared two of these floating picture frame finds in a recent garage sale finds post HERE.

I like this type of frame as they work well for stenciling on glass, similar to an old window.

I cleaned the glass and wood inserts, and outer frame.

I found this inexpensive little cactus/succulent stencil at Hobby Lobby.

I taped the stencil onto one of glass inserts.

(I used a ruler to center the stencil accurately.)

I pounced on about three coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in Coal Black. When stenciling on glass, several very light coats with a pretty dry brush works best to prevent stencil bleeds.

I brushed two coats of Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Vintage Duck Egg onto the outer frame, distressed it lightly with sandpaper and waxed it with Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax in Clear.
