 We just took this old wore out distressed rusty filled with staples Frame and turned it into this a DIY home sweet home farmhouse sign And we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do you like to do a builder make it so do we and we have a new video each week This week we're getting into a little bit of a reuse a recycle repurpose one of our Make-it-fam folks from the farmers market came by and was purchasing us on it was like oh I have this frame this frame. You should really use this frame. You guys are gonna love it I don't have anything to do with I have nothing to do with it. You guys should come by and get it You should really use it. I know you could do something cool with it So then we got this frame and it is rough-looking. I didn't realize how rough-looking this frame was gonna be It's got some staples on the outside. Yeah, it's got some fencing stapled to the back side and It's got some dirt on it over here where I think it sat outside for a while, but you know what? I told Garrett. Yeah, I think we could do something cool with it So that's our project this week is we're gonna turn this into something fabulous Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies We needed the frame because that's what we're doing. We're redoing the frame and then we needed something for the backer So we found these woodland wall peel and stick wood planks on clearance. So we thought these would be great for the backer We're gonna just nail them in there. We needed some NBF We decided to put a saying in there and like an overlay Yeah, you'll see we're gonna add some Dimension to the corners, you'll see I also needed some wood glue and my brad nailer so we can nail the planks on and then I'll be using a couple of these country chic paints. We're gonna do a two-tone. We're gonna do a distressing technique We're gonna this is the new country chic paint color and tide pool It's a really pretty blue and then we're gonna put cheesecake over top of it and do a little distressing So you can see the color through it And then of course it's a little bit of sandpaper because we got to do some clean up on this thing before we get started Before it starts its makeover Yeah, it is gonna be an extreme makeover Step two, we're gonna clean up the frame and see what we got. Let's see what we're actually working with We're gonna remove all these little staples. So we're gonna use some needle noons flat-head screwdriver We're gonna remove all these staples around the outside Around the outside I know two trailer park girls is coming any second For me I think this is gonna be the most tedious part right here. I think it is all these staples out One of us is gonna need to finish this project Whoa, no way. Did it really hit you in the eye right here? Yeah, the safety first a quick sand See what we got underneath Just mainly to knock the dirt off and that's really it to knock the dirt off I don't want to kind of I want to keep some of the raised pieces All right, we'll see. I told him we should wash it with some dawn maybe and some soap and water But we're gonna start with this and see how far I see how it does Yeah, no, no watch it. There's a nail or something. I decided this was too dirty for just a sand It looked like we were just sanding in the dirt So I decided to get a little bucket of warm water and some dawn dish detergent and Using one of these green scrub scour pads to just kind of wipe off the dirt Scrub it with the scour pad side Hit it with the sponge and then Garrett went back and wiped it down And I think that's brightened it up a little you can tell it's cleaner I want to keep the distressing paint look, but I don't want it to be dirty Step three we're gonna make all of our cuts I'm just gonna take this quarter inch MDF over to the glue forge using the thick draft board Settings and cut out our words and our little overlay that's gonna go over it Kim found this thing in Hobby Lobby and we decided to try to use this frame to copy it Yes, I saw this frame in Hobby Lobby. It was really cute. It said home sweet home And I just knew that we could replicate that look with this frame. I mean we have the frame So I had Garrett go look for some Um Corrible silhouette images and then he made them into svgs And so we're gonna cut those and we're gonna add those on top of our backer as inlays inside this frame We'll show you what we're talking about And now we paint We're gonna use our new country sheet color in Tie pool this blue and we're gonna put a coat of this on top of the frame And our corner accents Here's one of the corner accents We made four of them and they should piece back together inside the frame Yep, all we have to do is size it to the inside of our frame So we'll make these as an svg and available in our store. You can resize them to any frame that you guys have This was super easy. It was just magnolia sky as our font and the typewriter font for home sweet home So Or sweet home Yeah, sweet home All right, let's give it its top. It's first coat base base coat base coat It was dry now. It's time to add our cheesecake We're just gonna come in with a thick coat or a thin coat regular coat a regular Good coat. All right a regular good coat. Yes Of vanilla frosting. No cheesecake cheesecake cheesecake. I see you've got food on the brain speaking of food on the brain Yeah It's only you tried to do during the During the paint dry session Garrett said now they'll know why you're married to me So while we were letting our paint dry I went down to get some lunch And I was going to have this bowl of chili, but I couldn't find a spoon. So I used this Slotted spoon that was down there. It only had tiny little holes. Chili's thick. I thought it would be okay But now I have chili all over the front of my shirt now. So Guess what? A little chili shirt. Yeah, can't eat chili with a slotted spoon Heard up tip for me We're gonna distress it But we're gonna distress it with rags. No sanding needed. Right. So I was going to share that Garrett stole my thunder here Typically we use sandpaper to distress and get down to the second color But this paint has dried for just about 30 minutes. So it's just Barely dry to the touch and you use this damp rag And you'll rub a little bit and you'll rub right down to the blue paint And that way it leaves the blue paint, but you don't sand off the blue paint. I like that a lot better than the sanding Well Let's see. Let's see how how it does Since this chalk paint is so fresh It's easy to just rub through that top layer and really expose that second layer And this is great with all kinds of color combinations and works well not only on this wood But also on this mdf We painted it first with the tide pool and then added cheesecake and rubbed it off. It worked fantastically for both Step five and now we assemble it. We're gonna bring it all together starting with the back We're gonna flip it over So that's the top, right? I need that board over there So these do not have any grooves in them. So they'll just sit side by side We'll take them off and glue them now We're just gonna glue it and then tag it down with a three-quarter inch brad The nail not the guy. Oh that looks so pretty Can you guys see it looks so pretty found this frame isn't quite square We're gonna make it work. All right, let's glue these three sides in here You sure you didn't want to sand that first? Yeah, I'm thinking I'm gonna sand it now Well, it's got glue on it. Yeah, that's the best time to do it When you do it it looks way better You would never know this is the frame that we started with as dirty as it was with whatever kind of Metal fencing that was in there Yeah, we took it out and made it into a piece of wall art That is a definite piece of wall art now a little bit of paint and uh Some planks But it's not too heavy No, not heavy at all. So I like the rubbing technique and I thought it was way less dusty Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, then normally yeah trying to sand it Usually it's so dusty like uh Yeah, I'm just gonna say you need to go on country chic paint dot Well dot com but really on their youtube channel They have so many paint tutorials and paint techniques This I was looking for something else when I came across this and I was like, oh She's just rubbing off the chalk paint before it cures all the way And so I had to show you guys this new paint technique this distressing technique because it looks great I mean You don't get past the first color and you really can showcase that color underneath. Yeah, I like it a lot Really makes it pop. It does give it a pop like this one I did try so we could have done some really cool poppy colors with this But because I'm going to try and sell it. I tried to keep it kind of neutral So it fits in any home decor But I have seen if you look on their site country chic paint dot com They'll show you lots of different colors like I saw Um black over a hot pink. Oh, yeah, that was really cool looking when they distressed it Yeah, but I can't really do that with this. We'll have to do it with something now Yeah, yeah, I think it would look really cool. Put it in one of the girls rooms. Oh, yeah Yeah, they would love it. The teens would love that. Yeah, that'd be cool to do Big thank you to our patrons. We love you guys and if uh You're not joining us for the patron after show We are about out of time. So we will see you next week. We'll do it building and make it again Oh I got it. Oh my god look I hate this I hate this dumb game That's so impressive
