- 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!🤩
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!"
Pls make this a series. I've been wanting to do this and the inspiration helps so much!
Yes we need this!
The “clashing” bright colors and patterns really give that painting some movement. Very cool!
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.
Please do turn this into a series, i find this kind of videos so fun and entertaining to watch. Plus you are recycling old stuff into amazing things!
I can just imagine the plant picture on an eclectic gallery wall with lots of visual intrigue
That’s exactly what I’m going for!!
Would love a series of these.
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!
That’s funny cause Moriah Elizabeth just did a thrift store makeover too! Great job they look awesome!
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! 🥹❤️❤️❤️
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.
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.
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!!” ❤
Today as I was framing (grandchildren’s) art, I was telling my daughter how when we moved in to our current home I wanted to put my own art, art from loved ones or local artists on my walls. I clean up and paint old frames too. This is great!
I like blue and yellow building. Nicework. 🖌️
Rub and buff looks like a great product, it totally transformed that frame. Beautiful artwork as always. 🤩
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.
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.
Yes keep making these frames. Love the colors
Yes make this a series….Loved it so much!!
It is such a delight whenever i see Mira post a new video 😊
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!
That’s a really cool idea.
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!!
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.
The second picture frame that you did with the picture inside that says “angels watching over me”reminds me so much of my grandmother. When I was a little kid she used to sing a song to me and my brother. That was part of the song. She past when I was very young, I miss her so much. ❤
The orange building is my fav- but they all have so much character 🤩🤩
Love the yellow on right😊
I would love to see this as a series. Also, I loved the yellow house with the blue roof!
I love the red house on the end. And I always love your clouds.
You're inspiring ❤
Love your boldness 🎉❤🎉
I like the red one on the end and the orange with the red door! You give me so many ideas!
You know what i really love about you mira? Youre so raw and real and relatable. I love that you can see your work room for all that it is. I love that there are different projects and supplies and materials everywhere. Its comforting because thats what real artists rooms look like. Some artists channels you dont see that, its just white and clean and orderly and it drives me crazy because theres no way that is realistic. But you have a beautiful home and your work space is free for everyone to see exactly the way most people have their spaces looking.
Yes ... makeover more frames please!!!!
Wow those are great ideas and I love the repurposed frames, way fun!!
Hello from a new subscriber 😊
I'm also here to tell you that your work knocks spots off of anything you will buy from Anthropology.
You are the real deal, go you!
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?
Loved the cityscape painting!
Love the houses on the beach!
You really have steady hands and a big talent
This HAS to be a series
I love the blue building to the right of the pink one.
This was exciting! Some of the best results we've seen with thrift store frames- it helps a lot if you have a good eye. Some people miss the best stuff!
Your plant painting is quite nice!
Yes! A series of this please! Subscribed.
I like the blue building with the mixed shaped windows
the orange one is my favorite 🧡
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Please do more.
More people need to remember to LIKE your videos! They're so amazing. Looking forward to seeing more of these! Getting thrifted frames and putting your own art in is such a great idea!
The teal building is my favorite. It’s my favorite color
Sorry I'm late to this party but glad I found it online. I love ideas that allow us to reuse items rather than throw them out. I will be visiting the thrift store. We once bought a large painting that we loved but it was framed in a frame we hated. We stripped it of its faux antique finish and low and behold..there was a beautiful detailed wood underneath. After the stripping we gave it an oak golden oak finish that matched the wooden highlights and features in the room. It is beautiful. I like your idea even better..to create art for thrifted/renewed frames. Thanks.
New subbie here! Love this idea of a series, that’s why I’m subscribing to your channel. TY!
I like the red house on the right because it reminds me of my childhood home ❤
Omg I love the plant painting
You are an awesome artist ❤ that plant painting is super cool
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.
prob my fave video of yours lately myra, and i've loved them all. you've really been going from strength to strength, and with two new babies, also. thank you so much for all the awesome content!
I just donated so many of my beautiful finds because we’re moving! I’m so happy to see you got some great deals. Hopefully someone finds my donations and finishes them as nice as yours!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes plz do more frames. I have 2 frames I am going to do face lifts too. One has glass the other does not. Love these ideas!
My favorite of the buildings is the orange-ish one with the dome on it
You’ve obviously had some art training in your life. I love the plant painting. The background of the painting is so cool.😎
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.
My favorite building is the pink one!
Oh I hope you make this a series! I love what you did with the frames, how bold the art is, and that you’re upcycling things!
This was so much fun!
Well done!
Such a great idea!! 🥰
I've never heard of Anthropology and thought you were talking about a branch of science!!! 🧪
On your question of the day I like that 2nd building, the blue one, it just stood out to me. 🏚
I love the fact that you're putting that 2nd picture in your shop WITH the frame!! It's not only made by you but your husband had his hand in it!! 😁💝
I want to see what you do with the tray. I know you would make it so cool!
I love a busy background
Hi I would love that Morning Glory print! Morning Glory's are my favorite flower!!!!
Way cool ideas … I love the orange Bldg. with the red door!! 😊🩷
Love it. Definitely worth a series
My favourite building is the yellow one to the right
WE NEED ANOTHER VIDEO LIKE THIS!!! ❤
I’m looking forward to more of your junk to gems shows!!!!!
I'd love to see you do more frames. I used to redesign wooden plaques from thrift stores. Then after my stroke I couldn't do them anymore as you need two hands to do them. I still have the wooden plaques that need to be resigned but I think I'll give them back to the thrift store since I can't do anything with them now. It may sound strange but I want to cry because I loved recycling them and making them into other pieces of art.🙁
👋🏻 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
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 :)
The colorful cityscape reminds me of Willemstad, Curaçao. It’s beautiful
I’m here for this content 👏 I mean I love to watch everything you post but upcycling + art is my favorite haha!
Love to see more. Make a series. ❤
Thanks for this video! I inherited some brass knickknacks from my late mother & have bee terrified to clean & ruin them. They have green spots like you mentioned. I'm glad I finally know how to safely clean the items Mommie collected from thrift stores. She always loved glass & brass.
i love the red and pink house
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. ❤
My favorite is the red one on the left side!
😊👍 The orange building with a red door is my favourite.
I would enjoy more videos like this.
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.
Those were awesome! More please!
My favorite houses are yellow/blue, yellow/black, and then the green one!
I like the yellow and black building
I would love to see more of these type videos❤
Love the frame and your artwork. Now I need to go find me some frames! TY😊
That frame came out... ummm.... yeaaa sooo..... I liked the video! 🤔😋
Absolutely love this idea! Really inspiring! Xx
This would be great for a series! Thank you for sharing your talents.
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.
They both came out so cute. Well done! Very clever.
Love them. I need to see more.
Loved it and it inspired me a lot, I was looking for that perfect cityscape to complement my poem written by me and I think I just found it.
I'm late to the party! Just subscribed. I came across this watching my normal art follows, and loved this! The first piece was gold!
I think my favorite building in your second painting is the orange building, I love all the details and the dome topper!!
Pausing at 20:15 My favourite is definitely the little yellow house in the middle. I keep expecting a little dumpy lady to come out of her front door and begin scrubbing her doorstep - eg as in old children's colouring books of the 1950's. .
I also loved the first painting. the colour choices are superb. I couldn't have it in my house, cos the patterns play havoc with my eyes, but that doesn't stop me appreciating the painting and the cleaned-up version of the frame, which I thought was 'orrible before the make-over!
PS: this is the 100th comment on this video... 😄
Yes, please series!! I loved this!
