Before drawing your line art, you need to prep the frame. In their TikTok video, Karo showed how to make two pieces with simple 8 ¼ inch by 11 ¾ inch white frames. That said, any style and size will work. The first thing you’ll need to do is clean the glass. You can use some soapy water or glass cleaner. If you’re using a commercial spray, choose the ammonia-free option in case your frame uses plexiglass instead of regular glass. Then open the frame and remove any picture or tag sitting inside, along with the glass. Now that it’s free, you can clean the other side of it.
The next step in this hack is to decide what line art you want to do. You can either freehand your own design or find something online to trace. Karo printed photos of a woman and a Monstera leaf to draw over. Remember that after you draw the art, the glass will invert the image and show it mirrored when you put it in the frame. However, you only need to worry about this if you include words. Then use a piece of painter’s tape to adhere the paper to the glass, and you’re ready to start tracing.
