Easy Floral Glass Art Frame Tutorial with Acrylic Paint Pens
Hello everyone! Caroline here from the ambassador team! Today I wanted to show you a super easy and cute way to create an art piece using a picture frame and a white acrylograph pen.
This activity is very relaxing, perfect to wine down after a long day or if you’re having a creative itch but don't want it to consume too much time!
The tools are simple all you’ll need are the following items:
![tools for picture frame art piece](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1201/4358/files/IMG_4010.jpg?v=1687757738)
- White (or off white) acrylograph pen from archer and olive. I am using the 3 mm nib for this one
- A glass picture frame of the size of your choice.
- A botanical drawing or free image of your choice (You can get a free printable below if you wish to recreate this one)
- A piece of washi tape (make sure not to use super adhesive tape as you will be removing it)
To start you will remove the glass out of the picture frame, place it on top of the image you will be drawing, and secure it with washi tape so it doesn’t move.

Once you have that ready grab your white acrylograph pen and start tracing over the black outline.

Note: Make sure to have shaken and activated your pen well prior before use.
You’ll notice that the acrylograph pen glides over the glass nicely, so the drawing process is quick and effortless while also very satisfying.
Once you're finished tracing your image, allow it to dry well and then remove the washi tape.
You can now put the glass back into the frame and your art piece will be ready to be displayed.
