Cutting Crown Molding To Frame An Old Window - 5 Steps From Start To Finish
When you are doing the finishing touches to your home you may just be ready to get done and move in. Save those unused or scrape pieces of trim. Last year my son had new windows put in his home and I kept 4 of the old windows they took out. At the time I wasn't quite sure what I would do with them but I knew I would find something. The windows I got have worked out really well because they are three by three squares. In each pane it worked out just right to put a 8X10 picture (had to cut down just a little). This project will include knowing how to cut crown molding angles so you can frame your new picture. If you do not know how to make these cuts you can get someone to help you or you can pick up a copy of a how to manual. Use some small scrape pieces to practice on. These are the steps and instructions you will want to take.
1. Get your old window clean and scrape of the lose paint. This can be done with a paint scraper or a sanding pad.
2. Pick out your paint color and decide if you will need to primer your surface first. I used black for mine because I hung it on a pink wall and I wanted it to stand out but any color will work.
3. Get ready to primer/paint your window. Use painters tape to tape off each window pane so you will not have to scrape a lot off paint off your glass. Paint using as many coats as it takes to get the look you want.
4. Now it's time to use those skills you have learned to cut crown molding angles and fit the pieces to make a frame around your old window. You will need small tacks to attach the molding to the window and some caulking to fill in the cracks so you will have a smooth finish. Touch up the paint on the trim after you have it in place.
5. Get your pictures ready to put in each pane. You may want to cut pieces of cardboard for the backing to your pictures.I just used clear tape on the backs of mine. If you have smaller pictures you can use a matte to make them fit. You can do this several ways with your frame you can add a picture to random panes and fill the others in with a sold design or color.
Note: This makes a heavy frame to hang on your wall so be sure and hang it properly. ( Find a stud to nail to).
