Step 3
Using a paintbrush, apply the Vintage White FolkArt Multi-Surface paint to each of the wood frames. Applying 2-3 coats for even coverage, allowing the paint to dry 15 minutes between coats. Set the frames aside to dry completely.

Use scissors to trim the photos so they fit into each of the frames. Affix the photos to the back of the frames with the white glue.
