Mirror, mirror times three

These days I love simple and easy projects. Ones that can be completed during a nap time, ideally. At our local dollar store, whilst shopping for ... gift bags? cheap conditioner to shave my legs with? disposable aluminum pans? :) I came across these little silver frames that I thought would look adorable as little mirrors. Here's how I completed this uber simple project.

Start with your frames...



Buy some round mirrors that are the dimensions of your opening at the craft store of your choosing. (I like Michaels and Hobby Lobby, personally)



Replace the glass in the frame with the mirrors.



Voila! :) Cute little mirrors.


I wanted these on the wall in the downstairs bathroom, so I also made a wire loop and hotglued it to the back of the frame.





These were light enough to hang with command hooks - easy peasy. Also, I didn't buy a square mirror, so I just slipped aluminum foil into that square one for now. I'm thinking about putting an actual picture in there, but it's just so small!



Pardon the trimless bathroom door. We're working on it. Baby steps people!


Psst! This isn't the first time I've made a picture frame into a mirror! Check out the cool mosaic frame-turned-mirror in this post!
