I was finally able to do this project - the pieces have been sitting around for a good while. I revamped an old art plaque I found at the thrift store. It's not really worth a tutorial, but here's what I did.
Find an old art plaque at the thrift store - I forgot to take a before picture, but this square one was $0.75, and the one I used was $0.55.
Dampen and scrape off the art. Mine was a card stock type material.
Sand lightly to scuff, and spray paint the color of your choice. I used flat black because my photo was black and white. Distress if desired.
Cut photo to fit plaque.
Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the plaque and to the back of your photo. Place photo on plaque, smooth to get rid of bubbles. Apply Mod Podge over top of the photo and plaque to seal everything.
I'm one step closer to finishing my gallery wall!

I love how your photo plaque turned out!
