Today we are turning thrifted picture frames into expensive looking art! Join me as we bust out acryla gouache paints, rub n buff, glue, yarn, and more! This will get quite interesting... :)
I've always wanted to upcycle/thrift old stuff and make it over to give it new life. If you enjoy thrifted diy projects, let me know! Maybe I can turn this into a series!

New subcriber! Just wanted to share this before I watch the video. My daughter (12 years old) and I recently discovered your channel and absolutely adore you! She enjoys watching you create and finds you very funny, and I so appreciate that you are family friendly. Thank you for what you do. You are inspiring my girl and for that I am grateful. You are a gem, and we are big fans!🤩

@christinelatham5973 Год назад

Barbara - My daughter has been watching Mira since she was 11 or 12. I, too, have always loved and appreciated Mira for having a family friendly channel. She's just a great gal! Welcome to the "art family!"

I can just imagine the plant picture on an eclectic gallery wall with lots of visual intrigue

@MiraByler Год назад

That’s exactly what I’m going for!!

I love bold colors and contrast! I actually build assemblages. Love to thrift!

@ThePreppingArtists Год назад

That’s funny cause Moriah Elizabeth just did a thrift store makeover too! Great job they look awesome!

@gailmariage5318 7 дней назад

Nice work. I like the texture of the second one,. I love both of the paintings.

@matishtar Год назад

Yesss!!! I'm so here for this thrift store makeover / customisation series! ❤ I LOVE the plant painting, it goes so well with that frame. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the other items.

@oliviawelker3954 Год назад

👋🏻 for the second painting I personally love it for some reason it reminds me of my childhood but the building that stands out the most for me is the orange building next to the yellow and blue building

@cathyintally Год назад

I’m looking forward to more of your junk to gems shows!!!!!

@alisonbell3475 Год назад

Love to see more. Make a series. ❤

@mbvolleylove7 Год назад

I loved this video! I've gone to the thrift store and just stared at the picture frames before but I never thought of doing this type of thing. That's really cool how you brought each of the frames "back to life" and made a new piece of art to custom fit the frame's personality. I would absolutely love to watch more of these videos.

@janerushton8263 Год назад

This was fun, would love to see more like it :) That little row of houses, so charming, think im moving into the little blue/green one :)

@AR463 Год назад

Definitely make this a series. It's so fun. Actually, I loved the way the rope looked with the red balls... then you said the thing about mushrooms and moss like folklore. Now you must make this painting! 😉 Loved what you made as always. The yellow house in the middle is my favorite. It reminds me of those Swedish colors. 💙💛 I love that.

@wishywashy1153 Год назад

That frame came out... ummm.... yeaaa sooo..... I liked the video! 🤔😋

@bettybutler3327 Месяц назад

Awesome, I love your artwork n frames, etc. 😊

@maryzefo3801 Год назад

The first one I feel like you and usually don't like to put clashing colors in but the more you went with it it actually made me feel calm it looks so pretty like that and I would love that to hang on my wall although I will try it myself and I love the leaves with the green and pink I think I have a plant that looks just like the one you painted anyway I always love your videos

@JayofallTrades Год назад

My favorite is the yellow building with the blue roof as its smaller than the others and it kinda reminds me of the house stuart little loved in. So small and cute when the others are tall. Plus I'm partial to yellow 💛 I love this. I am building a gallery wall of my art and i buy all my frames secondhand from thrift stores. So this is a cute lil way to make them look fancy.

I like the red house on the right because it reminds me of my childhood home ❤

@crystalpolice Год назад

I absolutely LOVE both of your creations! You've inspired me to do the same thing. 😁 Maybe on a frame to house one of the two conservatory prints I got from your store. I really love these styles of videos, so I'd love to see what you do with the other pieces. ❤

@redinabloogs8477 2 месяца назад

This is so FUNNY I just came home from the thrift store with a pile of old frames i am going to fix up also ...i alway clean everything with bleach and water b4 i do anything else to them ...im interested to see if u have any different ideas to me :)...my local thrift store usually have the frames at a stupid price ...way to high for old, usually damaged frames ...so i'm really happy. Apparently, i was the only person buying them and once i stopped the store filled up with frames taking up too much space LOL 😄😄😄😄😄

@mattiekitty Год назад

The “clashing” bright colors and patterns really give that painting some movement. Very cool!

@chelseawalton6206 Год назад

Just as a tip from a former framer, the reason that the inside of the mats are yellowed and "match the frame" is because they are not acid free mats and they have yellowed over time. I'm not saying not to use them, but they will cause any artwork in the frame to yellow as well over time. Love your stuff!

@MarbleRimGallery Месяц назад

I belong to a co-op gallery, and I do oil painting. All my frames that my work is in is gently used thrift store finds. Frames (some of them great quality) at a fraction of the cost. Helps keep my "cost" down on my work, and less in the land fill.

@WaltonReeves-s7c 3 месяца назад

I admire your creativity with making affordable home decor but your REAL strength is in creating art. I just retired after 40 years in the art business and trust me when I say your time is wasted on decor. You should be pursuing your art career. Many publisher hire artists to create art for their catalogues. I love the little painting with the striped leaves. Keep painting.

@SinbadtheFlailer 2 месяца назад

Can you please elaborate? I'm an amateur artist and would love to connect with a publisher to create art for a catalogue. Thanks

@LauraHickmanLauraHickman 3 месяца назад

Nice video and great thrifty suggestions. A thought: The screen note that was inserted at 1:09 went by waaay too fast and it took some time to scrub back to read it. It was important to the context of the video. Don’t be shy about allowing a few seconds screen time when you insert an important thought that wasn’t voiced in filming. ❤

@Queenread82 2 месяца назад

Hey don’t discount your work! “Looks like an expensive piece from anthropology “ Mira! This is original artwork! You are an artist. Your original art is worth more than a print from an overpriced store.

Rub and buff looks like a great product, it totally transformed that frame. Beautiful artwork as always. 🤩

@alanefideler7234 Год назад

Lately I’ve really been digging “thrifting” my own apartment and re-purposing it! For example, an 8-photo frame I don’t care for but for some reason still have I turned into moulds/deckles for papermaking!

@creativelychandra Год назад

That’s a really cool idea.

@jochildress5003 3 месяца назад

@Musiccat95 Год назад

My dad gave me a bunch of old frames to put art in like this and I haven’t had the inspiration to do it till your video!! ❤ your such an inspiration. Having your twins and keeping up with your channel I have 3 kids none of them twins and I don’t have much time for art right now seeing your videos fills that space for me till I have the time again.

@bethpalmer-brown4465 Год назад

I loved the houses painting!! Wasn't keen on the frame but it's just not my style. I think you should definitely do more of these videos! And I think a cool fun idea would be to do bookmarks! Botanical greenhouse bookmarks!! More greenhouses!! Love them!!

@BA-ef4pr 3 месяца назад

@RustAndStardustDesigns 3 месяца назад

Omg, you are adorable. I love this. Just found your channel this morning and I thought this was just going to be a fun thrift flip video, which I LOVE, but then you started painting and I was all 😱 “GIRL’S GOT TALENT!!” ❤

@judymartin4131 3 месяца назад

Do you have reasons for not saving bigger pieces of your art paper by lining the shape you want against the edges of the page you trace on? You could have have produced almost both paintings from 1 sheet of art paper. First time meeting you today. Love your work and your quiet enthusiasm. I’ve watched Moriah for several years. She’s a sweetheart and creative, too.

@jujubeeklaar7674 Год назад

It's such a great idea to upcycle, reuse & repurpose older or outdated items. The prices on your frames seem extremely reasonable. Many second-hand stores seem to be charging exorbitant prices but the stores in your area are pricing correctly. --One thing I noticed Mira, was you did not ~sign, date or title your artwork. Some day an art collector will wish he/she knew your name. -smiles (Keep up the great work)

@megan2176 3 месяца назад

I love the idea of creating art to fit the frame, like the long stretch of street scene for the long narrow frame, as opposed to trying to find a frame to fit the art! And i love a street scene, especially a Christmas one, with people walking with their gift purchases!! Our class made one in Fourth grade, and it always thrilled me..., i think it's imagining the little town and the different people in the buildings, and walking on the street, each doing their own thing!!! Just makes me so happy! 🥹❤️❤️❤️

@ColorwaveCraftsCo Год назад

I definitely want to try something like this. The prices of home decor items these days are outrageous, and who doesn’t love a great thrift store find?

@simplymeowlogical Год назад

My favourite building is the yellow one to the right

@angieemm Год назад

The pink building reminds me of this old town I drive through in a forgotten part of Texas. A small main street is flanked by brick storefronts, but almost all are just facades. The roofs caved in, windows broken out, and wooden pieces salvaged. It's surreal and incredibly cool. I need to stop for photos sometime but I'm always in such a hurry to get back home.

@MrsBarnabas Год назад

Maybe do it soon, Angie, because maybe it won't be there much longer? I think it'd be sad not to have that memory as a -opoto- photo.

@christinelatham5973 Год назад

Mira - Ellie and I would LOVE it if you made this a regular series! We love to go thrifting and are always amazed at the home decor that is priced well and can be up-cycled into something cool.

@ChristinaTodd1970 Год назад

Mira, I'm curious as to why you put down such big blobs of paint in your palette? It's Acryla Gouache after all. There ain't no saving it once it dries! It's aesthetically pleasing watching you do it but sad to see large blobs of untouched paint that can't go back in the tube and can't be rewetted.🙁

@MiraByler Год назад

I cut a lot of footage out of my videos to make them easily viewable, but I have a large rubber mat that I lay over my palettes to extend the life of the paint. Sometimes paint does if I forget about it, but I try to save as much as I can! It’s just hard to include all of that in my videos lol. Good question! 💜💜

@ChristinaTodd1970 Год назад

@@MiraByler Thanks for answering. I've been so worried about your paints drying out, lol.

Hi Mira. Greetings from Denmark! Your paintings turned out great. Your cityscape actually looks like a Danish town. 😉 And yes; recycling & upcycling is the way go. Have you visited Denmark before? If you like I can give you some suggestions & recommendations. 😊 Have a good one & thanks for sharing your joyful self with the world. ☀️☺️ Julie.

@joselynabbott5605 Год назад

Mira please don’t listen to these people. At the end of the day when you have a large following on RU-vid, it’s understood that you’re running a business. If people don’t like you advertising on YOUR OWN CHANNEL, they should 👉🏼

@reneekroyer5104 2 месяца назад

There is something that really works well on all things and has no alcohol, so is safe to use even on granite (which is what I purchased it for). It is called SprayWay. It cleans glass without any sreaking, would work on your frames, etc. Try it, you'll like it. Very little elbow grease needed with SprayWay. (It comes in a can. Was recommended to me by our granite guy. Said it works well on most surfaces.)
