In this tutorial I'll show you how to revamp your crap. Sometimes I just feel like making things and I enjoy re-using and revamping my junk and making it pretty & new! It's also good for the enviroment. ;)
I was in the middle of painting my old mirror when I realized making a tutorial would be awesome. So I started after I painted two coats of bright pink glossy paint across the frame. It's wall paint that I already had and it worked awesomely.
I tried to take this mirror apart in order to use the frame only, but the mirror was mega-glued to the frame so I'm going to leave the mirror in tact. You can also use a picture frame, which will be easier.
After a few hours (5 or 6), scrape the paint off the mirror with a flathead screwdriver. Be careful, the paint might still be wet in some spots. It won't mess-up the mirror. If you're using a picture frame this isn't necessary, skip to the last part. haha.
Clean and dry the mirror
*Clean!* It can be a mirror or picture frame. Decide!
Picture Frame. :) I used this awesome print I purchased off etsy here. Measure and make sure your art fits. Cut and/or fold if necessary
Now choose your glue. If you want it to be permanent use E6000. If you want it to be temporary use Hot Glue. I decided to use hot glue since it's not permanent.
Hot Glue: Put it on fast. The glue dries in seconds
E6000: Let dry for 24 hours
Add any accessories you want
Hang & enjoy your art!
Until Next time! xoxo Heather ^_^
