Décor Tutorial
irror mirror on the wall
Look closely at very left of my blog header. There's a pretty papered mirror hiding in the background.
I always like to have a full length mirror near my wardrobe. But full length mirrors are always more expensive than their smaller counterparts. So I opted for a budget-friendly version with a designer touch.
I picked up a simple full length "door mirror" at Target for $4. It's easiest to find these deals during back-to-school/dorm season.
I mod-podged pretty patterned Amy Butler paper to frame the mirror. Here is the pretty pattern, via Pinterest:
I actually made this mirror pre-c.w.frosting & mod-podged it two years after papering, so I don't have any pictures of the making.
Read on for a short, descriptive tutorial.

The $5 Amy Butler Mirror
Ingredients
Total Cost = $5
Protocol
*Notes: couldn't find a picture of the original mirror I used. The one pictured was also $4 from Target. I actually applied the paper with a glue stick & mod podged it later.

This is soooo neat. I have a purple one from the dorm overflow, but I forgot from where. Does yours have ridged edges?

Thank you, Katy
Hi Katy, The mirror I papered did not have ridged edges. But I think using a mirror with ridged edges would also work!
DeleteThat is amazing job you did! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this paper and your mirror! Seriously, I love all Amy Butler stuff, but this might be my favorite pattern and on a mirror that you can see every day... LOOOOOOVE! : )
