Well, as I was standing in line to pay, it kept calling my name. "Sarah, come on Sarah, take me home". So I did.

Doesn't it remind you of something you would have seen in your grandma's house years and years ago.
The first thing I did was tape the mirror off. I didn't want to get any of the spray paint on the mirror.
all taped up |
Next it was time to spray paint. I did 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of gloss white.
Don't forget to spray paint your lawn so when people ask what happened you then have a reason to show your project! |
After the paint was dry (well actually it sat for a few weeks, until I got around to it again) I glued a small candle holder onto the newly painted candle holder. I first tried my hot glue gun, but that didn't work. So I got out my Amazing Goop!! This is the best glue ever (well it's worked for any test I've put it through). This is what I used to get my Garden Markers to stay on the sticks.
I hung my Re-Newed Candle Holder in my dining room. This is how it turned out.

ReplyDeleteThanks meijo - adding words to the mirror is a great idea. I'll have to try it out.
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Great job! I have seen these at flee markets that I could pick up for little and with a little paint they could be renewed! Thanks!!
