How to build (easy) custom vintage gold frame

I made a Vintage-style frame for my canvas painting! I built my diy frame using wood trim from the hardware store, then painted it black and covered it with a gold wax. This combination made my frame look like a real gold vintage frame! I love the worn metal look and also just love how the ornate design complements my art. I'll show you how to make wood look like metal and how to create a metallic gold finish on a wood frame. This is an awesome diy room decor project and really adds to my diy bedroom decor!

Products I used in this video:
- Wood trim: Home Depot
- Gold paint (acrylic from Michaels)
- Gold Wax: This is the one that I used (Premium Wax Metallic Finish By Craft Smart), however, this is the one I WANTED to use but wasn't available for me at the time: amzn.to/3NhZKtm

Super 👌👌👌

Can you update the link?

[@BaiboBibiaWorld]

I am so bless to have you…so encouraging…honestly my heart is beating as if I’m unable to do but hopefully will do…God bless you and your hubby 🕊

[@ashleypicco2839]

It looks amazing and really makes your painting stand out even more!! I also love that you showed all the things you had to move to film. You’re always so good about showing how much extra work there is to doing what you do. I appreciate how real you keep things!

[@nicoletimmons2344]

Thank you so much for making this video! I had a frame that had a cool vintage finish, but I *thought* what I wanted was just bright gold so I spray-painted it. Then I started collecting other paintings and they all have cool vintage frames so now I want to make the one I spray-painted look vintage once again! Thanks to your video I feel confident that I can do it!!

[@marlenomahony8649]

I loved your advice about refreshing your knowledge for power tools before using them again. Both the painting and frame are beautiful. Thanks

[@lorebeth]

Absolutely beautiful frame and art work. I’ve always joked that I can only draw stick people but love art so much, and have always secretly wished I had the gift. I’ve learned to create other things but still, even over the age of 65, I’ve never had the courage to paint like you did. You’ve encouraged me to give it a try, God bless you. You’re a doll. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@maeganb7288]

The painting is so nice and calming. The frame looks beautiful. I love the black peeking out from the beautiful gold on top.

[@jaedd_plans]

It looks sooooo beautiful! The frame just makes your gorgeous painting pop and enhances it to bring out the colors even more. I love it! ❤️

[@ms.creepylee]

This is proof i need a saw room!! I was just as excited to see that set up and all the stuff i would crank out. Perfect frame!❤

[@deannagomes7947]

You have direct light falling on the canvas. To prevent fading and damage, finish the painting with a UV protective top coat and either move the painting or close window light during the hours it falls on the canvas. ❤ I love your spirit!

[@maritzasias3660]

I was just on Pinterest and I was like Dalia probably has a video about a Diy frame and wow my intuition was right!! Thank you for the content you create for doing it yourself projects!! 🤍

[@mrobrazprints]

Wow, I really appreciate the thorough explanation you provided! This method will definitely enhance the appearance of my prints. Thank you so much!

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Beautiful work Dalia. The entire process. The painting, using the touch of mauve. The frame. "Appreciate the safety tips" looks very vintage. Great on your wall. 👍

[@kimosabe721]

This frame is absolutely stunning!! Honestly it’s everything I’ve been looking for (esp since the frame I recently bought for a ridiculous amt of dollhairs was SO not worth the price or craftsmanship) so thank you for the inspo!!! Can’t wait to try this project!

[@1gks]

loved this. super helpful bc i bought some nonstandard prints at a convention and after months of looking for frames, i decided i'm just going to do it myself.

[@iceangel1701d]

When I first started DIY-ing, I needed a lot of encouragement, but over time I've discovered that "if you can see it you can create it" (: Well done!

[@artthathealsthesoul2027]

Omg it came out PHENOMENAL!!! I am also a crafty person and am obsessed with DIYS and you truly inspire me!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!

[@LeeLee277]

Oh girl! You have to sign your paintings. This is the only thing I would point out to my daughters on when they would work on their art pieces. The painting is beautiful by the 😊

[@lindamarlow4663]

Absolutely beautiful. Keep on painting. Fabulous job. Love watching your videos each week. Looking forward to next video.

[@werty1126]

wow. this video was so fun to watch! I feel like this was great information for the hands and the soul. Thanks for sharing, Dalia!

[@AdesewaAbioye]

I'm in... LOVEEEEE 🎵 I've been trying to get back into painting for my family and instead of those boring frames, you've inspired me to make one from scratch for my paintings. Just need to stop procrastinating and find time to finally do everything before Christmas now 😅💙

[@tacrewgirl]

Thank you for this DIY. I was just talking about expensive frames yesterday with a friend. This is nice.

[@lauriepayseur5897]

OMGoodness this is amazing! I watch all videos in fast forward and had to slow down to watch this reveal! Such an inspiration and timely might I add!

[@elinakatarii]

Wait omg this is STUNNING!!! I love vintage frames and always struggle to find them at flea markets etc but I'll definitely look into making my own too now! Your painting is the cherry though, absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@Susannah.N]

This is so cool and inspiring! I love how you painted it black first, I never would've thought to do that!

[@shy_vibe]

Ahhhh! You did such an amazing job!!!! I love it

[@lisawommack4095]

Beautiful painting and fantastic frame! I'm just starting to try to build frames for my stretched canvas paintings and I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks for posting.

[@Legotron]

Yo, thank you for this. Exactly the kind of frame I'm looking to make for my paintings. Came across 20 before your video that was just a repeat of the last video. This here... is what I am looking for. Had the same idea... just wasn't sure if anyone else had attempted it. Great job.

[@jenabunch3647]

Wow! Simply amazing and beautiful!

[@april6363]

You impress me with every project you do!! So pretty 😍

[@katrish786]

It turned out perfect, thanks for sharing that.

[@CeeLeeLEMT]

Final result = fabulous ‼🎉‼

[@daynadouglas7545]

That entire piece is gorgeous!

[@margarettekanealii4101]

Wow perfection. Love the painting and frame ❤

[@thesonsoflightt]

We learnt a lot from you on making frames. Never seen them made that way.

[@michelledrake6632]

Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. You have inspired me.

[@ReineMarie70]

Fantastic job! I love how you are so real without the gimmicky dances and Instagrammy glam filters.

[@leticiaruvalcaba-arballo3181]

Stunning! looks so beautiful, great job.

[@createwlei4165]

Looks incredible Dalia! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@PalomaNegra873]

That looks so good! I was looking for tutorials on how to create that vintage look. Thank you for posting this video.

[@austinartist0608]

Gorgeous. And your frame is as well

[@digriznm]

That came out amazing, and you made the frame look expensive. I've been thinking of framing a painting I have for a while now and I think this method will work brilliantly. Thank you for this informative video.

[@dawncrumpton5383]

You are amazingly talented. It all came together beautifully!

[@lazww]

You are awesome! I realised today that my blank walls are not good and need something so I splurged on a canvas reproduction of a Picasso that is bright and cheerful and sold for 60 million dollars a few years ago so out of my budget. I then realised it's going to look pretty terrible in a Walmart picture frame. I found your video and your end result is exactly the image I had in my head of "I wish I could get a frame like this" I am going to try and make one! Thank you

[@susanm8957]

Oooo nice! Please sign your art! Beautiful!

[@TheDanishPainter]

What a beautiful frame you made and it fits the painting perfectly! 💫💫💫

[@susannee.colella6109]

Absolutely amazing thanks for showing this. 💕😊

[@jeansantosuosso1076]

Awesome tutorial! So pretty! Thank you for sharing your talents!! :)

[@mamabear7243]

Gorgeous!

[@trulylesley3181]

I will be making this. Thank you for the idea

[@christinatello448]

Gorgeous and creative

[@yumikom3464]

OMG. It is beautiful. Good job.

[@NanookiePookie]

Looks awesome!

[@jojo-345-z4e]

I just made a frame out of the same trim. I wish I had seen this video before I made mine. My frame turned out pretty good, even though it was the first one I made. I used some metal clamps a friend loaned me. I would rather have used the clamps used here, though. I stained and varnished the frame, but I would have liked to do the gold finish shown here. If I ever make another frame, I am going to use a power miter saw, not a hand miter saw. Good job!

[@stans6582]

EXCELLENT............enjoyed your video....... and your style ......thank you...........ps : great image and frame

[@kennedyrice1517]

I’ve been interested in attempting to make frames, and your project was the best video I’ve seen on the subject. Simple, presented very nicely, and the frame looks great. New subscriber😊.

[@mobilhome1824]

I'm impressed.

[@shannonsallows7614]

Gotta love KZbin to find out how to do something, recently I wanted to alter my jeans and i totally forgot how to use my machine, so KZbin to the rescue and it went well

[@vanessap386]

You are awesome! Congrats on almost getting to 500k!! And THANK YOU for wearing a mask when cutting wood--it's crazy how many youtubers don't and it's no bueno for your lungs. Great job!!

[@UNKNOWN-zr5rz]

If someone told me that painting was from a famous artist I would believe it

[@mikesmith2315]

[@nainajani7825]

[@davidlaramee6218]

Love the video. You're cute and you did a really good job.

[@evaheyden4603]

Im a Little late tonight but wow dont you just look stunning Dalia, the skills you are teaching us wow women empowerment 😁

[@erinwhitaker2699]

Very pretty! Dalia - how much did you spend on all of your materials? I did not hear you mention it if you did and I would love to know. Wood is so expensive right now!

[@estherolawuyi4204]

I love moments in your video that my brain automatically make into shorts! The moment you said... I think sometimes in life....

[@moutushimajid9688]

You are AMAHZING❤

[@katrinacool]

Love this ! I just came back from vacation and had to catch up on videos and this makes me want to jump into a project! It's beautiful! 😊❤️☀️☺️🥰🦩🌴😊

[@DIYDalia]

Welcome back! I was wondering where you were! Hope you had an amazing vacation 😊

[@katrinacool]

@@DIYDalia back from up north and definitely missed your videos Dalia- your one of my favorites and that painting is gorgeous! ☺️🥰❤️😊🦩🌴☀️

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 👏.

[@millerlena2208]

Love it

[@Funnytherapytv]

I thought the beautiful ones are not yet born, what are you doing there...hahaha Nice work and thank you

[@alexandraturnbull2783]

Wow - the vision you were seeking totally came to life! The frame looks incredible and has a vintage vibe that draws in the eye and perfectly complements your piece. What was the product you used for the gold on the frame? I've used gold leaf on frames previously but this product seems a lot easier to use

[@user-rm8uj8tr8u]

Hey you're AWESOME girl - just a quick question - I can't really make out which and what I should buy from a Home Depot for the front and the back -could you PLEASE specify the 2 trims? THANKSSSS :)

[@lourdesdelgado5556]

Wow it looks great! Exactly the finish I was looking for on my frames. I am curious to know how the rub on gold product dries after applying it. Does it run off when touching the frame? Should I also apply a sealant?

[@shabbysuse7821]

Wow!

[@lindalary7760]

Just found you!!! Love this? Can you link the molding????

[@trishasosnowski548]

Where did you get the corner clamp thing? I need this in my life!!!!

[@enoquefilho5260]

Hello there! Did you use a special kind of paint for the black? Also, what kind/brand of gold finish do you recommend? Thanks!

[@edwinhouse7200]

What kind of black paint you used. Thanks

[@valerievalentine2229]

I am a artist and I think you did an excellent job for your first attempt and with practice and patience you will be even better. Good job, the frame is stunning too

[@diyallthings]

I seem to be giving up on my DIY channel and gone back to watching and enjoying other’s videos 😂

[@MariaRileyMusings]

I like the way you think…😊
