How to Decorate Easily a Mirror Frame

$6
10-20 Minutes
Easy
I will need:
- a framed mirror
- an aluminum tape
- a brush
- an oil or acrylic paint (a dark grey tone) and
- silicone.

How I will do it
1) Cover the entire frame with the aluminum tape. It's better to let the tape shrink in different points. Then, press it with your hands, to stick well everywhere.
2) Put little color on the brush and pass the frame lightly. Put more attention only in the points that the tape ceases, to make it seem old.
3) Wipe the surface with some fabric, to erase the lines of the brush.
4) Put little silicone all around the edge of the mirror, where is connected with the frame, in order to cover the edges of the tape.
6) Let it dry well and paint the silicone in a similar color to hide it.
