Required Materials

• Wooden Frame
• Acrylic Paints
• Palette
• Brush
• 3D Outline
• Photo

Step 1: Preparation and Base Coating

1. Dilute the acrylic paints in the palette with one or two drops of water. They are water-based, non-toxic, and odorless.
2. Choose the main color and start painting the base of the frame.
3. Work with a thin layer – if it’s not sufficiently opaque, apply a second coat after it dries.

Step 2: Adding Ombre Effect and Highlights

1. For a beautiful ombre effect, mix the main color with white to lighten it.
2. Using a nearly dry brush, apply the lighter tone to the edges to create a gradient.
3. If desired, paint the nameplate with the same technique – for example, in a lighter shade.

Step 3: Decoration with 3D Outline and Final Elements

1. With white paint and a nearly dry brush, make light dabbing motions to create clouds in the nameplate area.
2. Use a silver 3D outline to accentuate the clouds or the frame.
3. Write the chosen inscription – for example, "Happy Birthday" or the name of a loved one.
4. Cut the photo to fit the shape of the frame.

Recommendations and Additional Ideas

• Use different colors and themes depending on the occasion – a frame for a baby photo, a wedding gift, or a family portrait.
• Add decorative elements like beads, stones, stickers or flowers, available at EM ART.
• Create a set of several frames in different colors for a stylish home gallery.
• A great idea for a creative activity with children!
