Gallery walls are significant projects that require careful planning and can evolve over time. Content creator McKenna Molt recently shared a method to enhance these walls using painted scallops. She used red paint and a drinking glass to outline scalloped designs around a painting, transforming its appearance. The process involves simple steps like tracing a frame and painting half-circle shapes, offering a budget-friendly alternative to custom framing for unframed canvas pieces.
"My head is a jungle full of color," McKenna wrote in an Instagram caption. "How cute is this scalloped picture frame border?! Maybe the cutest little project I've ever done!!"
You don't need much to add the same detail to a piece of art on your gallery wall. First, choose the framed painting or poster you'd like to accent and trace the frame onto the wall using a pencil.
Using red paint and a drinking glass to trace scalloped details around one of her art pieces, she created a painted frame that makes one painting stand out from the rest.
This is also such a great DIY to do if you have a piece that is unframed and just on canvas. The painted border gives the illusion of a piece being framed without you having to spend a ton on custom framing.
