Flea market find! I found a pair of these brass frames and decided to do a little DIY project at home. After googling "how to clean brass" I found that ketchup works. So I gave them a nice scrub with good ol' Heinz. That was interesting.
I made one into an earring hanger for a friends birthday. She had seen my plain black photo frame that I manipulated the same way and love it. To give the antique style frame a modern feel I spray painted it in a high gloss red. Using a high gloss color really brings out more of the detail work in the brass.....I love it! For the clear screen to hold the earrings I cut down a plastic cross-stitch/needlecraft grid to fit inside the frame, I hot glued it into place.
And the other frame from the pair? Stay tuned.
