How to Make a DIY Decorative Frame for Your TV - Hamilton Park Home

preview

TopThe Samsung Frame TV is all the rage right now. It also comes with a hefty price tag around $2,000 depending on which size you plan to purchase. As much as I would love to splurge on one, there’s really nothing wrong with our current flat screen TV. I decided to make a decorative frame and give our existing TV a frame TV look, without the hefty price tag.The process for making the frame will be very similar to the outdoor canvas I made over summer. These are the three pieces of molding we’ll be using to create the frame. Once these three pieces of PVC molding are combined, they will create a nice, substantial frame, as well as a lip for our TV to sit in.I found it easier to glue two of the pieces of PVC trim together first before making my cuts. You can do this with some power grab adhesive and clamps. I’d recommend adding a shim under the smaller piece of PVC molding to create the “lip” of the frame.Once the pieces of molding are adhered together you can make your 45-degree cuts to frame out you TV. I used a little power grab adhesive again and some finish nails to assemble the frame.The last step is adding that third flat piece of moulding to the outside perimeter of your frame. This will add some depth and also help to cover the sides of the TV. I just propped my frame up on some scrap wood so it sits off the ground and then used power grab adhesive and some finish nails to attach the thin moulding.I’ve decided to go gold with my frame. To do this, you’ll want to give the PVC moulding a light sand so the paint adheres better. Wipe down the frame and use a black spray paint for the base layer. After the frame is completely coated and dry, you can go over the entire thing with rub n buff. I used the gold leaf color of rub and buff and applied it with this round paint brush.Get ready for the fun part! I’ve seen this done several ways, but I decided to use elastic bands to hold my frame onto the TV. Our TV is rather high since it is above our fireplace. I was trying to think of a way to attach it, yet still be able to tilt the TV down so it’s a more comfortable viewing experience. These elastic bands worked beautifully!!I just used some short screws to attach the elastic bands. Just make sure you choose the correct length screws, you don’t want them to pop through the front of your frame. You’ll want to pull the bands tight, but still loose enough to stretch around your TV. I just did two bands, ran them vertically, and made sure they won’t interfere with any cords/cables on the back of our TV.You’ll also see some white spacer blocks at the top of my frame on the backside. This was just to raise it up a little so that the lip of the frame sits perfectly centered the whole way around the TV.Do you like the frame TV look? I am curious if this frame would work on an actual Samsung Frame TV? Let me know if you give it a try.I also get questions about the TV remote sensor. We didn’t have any issues with our remote and sensor. If you do, then you can drill a small hole in the frame right where the sensor is and that should fix the problem. They also make infrared remote extenders that you can try too.Large PVC Molding | Small PVC Molding | Flat Moulding | Power Grab Adhesive | Black Spray Paint | Rub n Buff, in gold leaf color | Elastic BandsTurn on your JavaScript to view contentTV | Battery Operated Candles | 10″ Antiqued Brass Candle Holder | 12.5″ Antiqued Brass Candle Holder | 15″ Antiqued Brass Candle Holder | 24″ LED Battery Operated Picture Light | Floor Lamp | Rug Ceiling FanTurn on your JavaScript to view content*This post contains affiliate links*This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
