Today we are turning thrifted picture frames into expensive looking art! Join me as we bust out acryla gouache paints, rub n buff, glue, yarn, and more! This will get quite interesting... :)

I've always wanted to upcycle/thrift old stuff and make it over to give it new life. If you enjoy thrifted diy projects, let me know! Maybe I can turn this into a series!

  • New subcriber! Just wanted to share this before I watch the video. My daughter (12 years old) and I recently discovered your channel and absolutely adore you! She enjoys watching you create and finds you very funny, and I so appreciate that you are family friendly. Thank you for what you do. You are inspiring my girl and for that I am grateful. You are a gem, and we are big fans!🤩
  • @abbydoss9452
    Pls make this a series. I've been wanting to do this and the inspiration helps so much!
  • @mattiekitty
    The “clashing” bright colors and patterns really give that painting some movement. Very cool!
  • @acepilot9675
    Please do turn this into a series, i find this kind of videos so fun and entertaining to watch. Plus you are recycling old stuff into amazing things!
  • I can just imagine the plant picture on an eclectic gallery wall with lots of visual intrigue
  • Just as a tip from a former framer, the reason that the inside of the mats are yellowed and "match the frame" is because they are not acid free mats and they have yellowed over time. I'm not saying not to use them, but they will cause any artwork in the frame to yellow as well over time. Love your stuff!

    I admire your creativity with making affordable home decor but your REAL strength is in creating art. I just retired after 40 years in the art business and trust me when I say your time is wasted on decor. You should be pursuing your art career. Many publisher hire artists to create art for their catalogues. I love the little painting with the striped leaves. Keep painting.
  • That’s funny cause Moriah Elizabeth just did a thrift store makeover too! Great job they look awesome!

    I love the idea of creating art to fit the frame, like the long stretch of street scene for the long narrow frame, as opposed to trying to find a frame to fit the art! And i love a street scene, especially a Christmas one, with people walking with their gift purchases!! Our class made one in Fourth grade, and it always thrilled me..., i think it's imagining the little town and the different people in the buildings, and walking on the street, each doing their own thing!!! Just makes me so happy! 🥹❤️❤️❤️
  • Mira, this was a delightful use of thrifted things and your art. I’m glad you made this video. 🎉
  • @Musiccat95
    My dad gave me a bunch of old frames to put art in like this and I haven’t had the inspiration to do it till your video!! ❤ your such an inspiration. Having your twins and keeping up with your channel I have 3 kids none of them twins and I don’t have much time for art right now seeing your videos fills that space for me till I have the time again.
  • @aussiecrafter
    Rub and buff looks like a great product, it totally transformed that frame. Beautiful artwork as always. 🤩
  • @EvieVermont
    Great finds! Oh, when you clean a frame, it works great to take it completely apart so you can get into the crevices near the back better. Thanks for telling us what you use for cleaners. And for showing us your process. Very helpful.
  • Mira - Ellie and I would LOVE it if you made this a regular series! We love to go thrifting and are always amazed at the home decor that is priced well and can be up-cycled into something cool.
  • Lately I’ve really been digging “thrifting” my own apartment and re-purposing it! For example, an 8-photo frame I don’t care for but for some reason still have I turned into moulds/deckles for papermaking!

    The pink building reminds me of this old town I drive through in a forgotten part of Texas. A small main street is flanked by brick storefronts, but almost all are just facades. The roofs caved in, windows broken out, and wooden pieces salvaged. It's surreal and incredibly cool. I need to stop for photos sometime but I'm always in such a hurry to get back home.
  • @emptyspacesFF
    Omg, you are adorable. I love this. Just found your channel this morning and I thought this was just going to be a fun thrift flip video, which I LOVE, but then you started painting and I was all 😱 “GIRL’S GOT TALENT!!” ❤
  • @matishtar
    Yesss!!! I'm so here for this thrift store makeover / customisation series! ❤ I LOVE the plant painting, it goes so well with that frame. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the other items.
  • I loved the houses painting!! Wasn't keen on the frame but it's just not my style. I think you should definitely do more of these videos! And I think a cool fun idea would be to do bookmarks! Botanical greenhouse bookmarks!! More greenhouses!! Love them!!
