 | thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Dec 8 | In this video, I will show you how to mount and wax a watercolor painting so it can be displayed without glass. I will also show you how to make an inexpensive floater frame. Let's save some money and display our art! 
By the way, you can find a real-time tutorial for this snowy door painting in Critique Club and I have a free timelapse video on YouTube. Supplies (affiliate links used) - Finished watercolor painting
- Dorlands wax: Blick or Amazon (blick is cheaper)
- Acrylic paint
- Wood surface to mount to (I used a scrap of plywood and I put Jenga blocks on the back to make the spacers for the floater.) A more professional option would be a cradled wood board. Cradled panels on Blick, and Cradled panels on Amazon *compare prices and sizes, blick has a great selection of singles, and Amazon has better prices in bulk. Get exactly the size you need, or a touch smaller if you don't mind cropping your painting because you can't cut these panels down.
- Matte Medium: Blick or Amazon *any brand is fine.
- Paintbrush
- Soft cotton cloth
- Lint-free paper towel or coffee filter for applying wax
Simple huh? I hope you give it a try and til next time happy crafting! | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
