I saw a few different variations of this mirror on Pinterst so I decided to try my own and see how it turned out. I wanted to try and do this project for free but ended up buying some spray paint for $3.47 so total cost of the project $3.47!!!
Supplies:
30 Paint Sticks (Home Depot or Lowes gives these things away for free!)
An Old Mirror
Hot Glue/Gun
Spray Paint
I used a mirror I already had and all I had to do was unscrew it and put a piece of cardboard glued to the back to make the mirror even to glue the paint sticks on flat.
I evenly spaced out the first layer all the way around, and then glued another layer on top in between the previous first layer.
Back side finished product
Then I sprayed it yellow and sealed it and hung it up in my guest room. So cute for so cheap! I think it really makes a statement and takes up wall space!
I love the color that you chose! It really pops and looks fantastic. :)
