I'm hanging a few things on the wall of one of the kids' rooms and I've prepped four of the mirrors to hang in a cluster. What kid doesn't love staring at themselves and making goofy faces?
The project:
I'll confess that I tend to take the lazy route for most home projects. The thought of taping all four mirrors and then peeling tape and scrubbing after spraypainting seemed a little tedious. So...I folded and creased newspaper and stuck it between the frame and mirror at the corners. I layered a little more to be sure the mirror was completely covered before spraying. After covering the first mirror I realized some of the thicker advertising inserts would work even better. Scrap cardstock? Perfect.
I sprayed one coat of the Rust-oleum product seen above and let that dry while I did something more exciting (laundry!). The second coat seemed to cover the frames thoroughly but when I got a good look in the bright sunlight I hit a couple of areas a third time.
These are hung on the wall and being enjoyed. I'll snap a few shots and post the results....someday.
