I've been shopping around for a mirror to hang over the vintage dresser that I purchased for my guest bedroom. During my search, I remembered that I've had a mirror sitting in my storage closet for years. I got a great deal on it when I worked at Hobby Lobby in college. It needed some work after years in the heat but I knew I could turn it into something fantastic.
For my project, I bought some craft glue to reattach the mirror inside the frame. I also bought some new ribbon and flower details from Hobby Lobby. I also used a hot glue gun, paint, foam brushes, and polyurethane to complete the project...all of which I already had in my craft supplies.
My before picture.
First, I glued the mirror back into the frame. Then, I mixed acrylic paints until I found the perfect shade. I painted the frame using foam brush. Once the paint dried, I covered the frame with a coat of polyurethane. I attached the flower details using a hot glue gun. Finally I tied a new piece of ribbon through the existing brackets on the back of my frame.
Here is my finished product!
I love this part!
The total cost for my supplies was under $10, which was far less expensive than the mirrors I had been looking at. I just love how it turned out! I hope this inspires you to upcycle something in your home!
à bientôt!
