Upcycle a Cheap Door Mirror

You know those cheap plastic framed door mirrors that you can find at just about any big box store? I had a couple of them and thought they'd look great as "windows" above my nightstands if I could make them look better. I've had this vision in my head for a couple years and this past week, those mirrors finally got their glam makeover. Tutorial in link. #diymirror

    Thank you everyone, I appreciate your comments! Becky J , mirrors are one of those things that can stay with you for a LONG time unless they break! :) Amy Ozenberger-Vohl , what a fantastic idea about a headboard. I love it when people see something and it spurs on even more creative ideas. :)

    What a great job you did...I just had to save this to my Pinterest board as well. Now if you figure out how to do mirror furniture, I know we'll all be interested as well, hehe. Just a 411, I want a piece for a vanity and I saw some reasonable prices w/good feedback on Overstock!

    Sharon, I think I might do this in my living room. I have 2 sidelights by my door and they face the west. I have been wanting to cover them but not sure with what.

    Thank you everyone. Ann , good to know about Overstock! DONNA W , what a fantastic idea - that X molding would look great on sidelights.

    I live in a 60 year old bungalow that have plaster walls that are practically impossible to penetrate, therefore, I have used the holes that were already there and nothing else. This would be a great way to class up the place and use of multiple 3M hooks or even the really good velcro for picture hanging that work well with things that don't have much weight . Thanks for the great idea.

    Very sharp looking. As you mentioned, other colors could be used but I really like the looks of this silver.

    Great idea Sharon! May I ask what material you used on the mirror itself to make the diamond design?

    Hi Sarah , the full tutorial with details on the materials are in the link at the top of this post. Here it is just in case you can't see it: http://www.lilikoijoy.com/2013/02/upcycle-do.... Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting! Sharon Oh - the material I used for the X design are basswood strips I found at hobby lobby. All the other materials used are in the tutoria link. :)
