Restore an old and ugly mirror frame
You can pick up great bargains at auction sales and secondhand shops, but they aren't always in good condition.
Here's how to transform a junk shop find to a treasured possession!
You will need:
Old framed mirror
Rust-Oleum 2X Painter's Touch or Spray enamel
Vaseline
Newspaper
Masking tape
Here's how:
1. Clean the mirror well.
2. Lay flat in a well ventilated area, such as a garage or outdoors.
Safety First:
Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear a safety mask.
3. Tape off the mirror using newspaper and masking tape.
4. Spray the entire project in a dark colour (green was used for this project). When paint is dry, add some vaseline to all the edges with your finger.
5. Spray the project a light colour (we used white).
6. Allow to dry and then wipe off all vaseline - Voila!! You have a beautiful new mirror!
