Easy Way to Add Sparkle to a Plain Beveled Edge Mirror: IKEA Hack
My home office is set up in a very dark corner of my apartment living room so to brighten it up, I went looking for a mirror to hang on the back wall to reflect some light. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money and it turns out IKEA had exactly what I needed: the KOLJA mirror. It was the prefect size (24″ x 24″) and the price was right at only $10 but it was so plain, it was calling for an upgrade.
I saw these square rhinestones at a craft store and knew they would be perfect for adding some sparkle to the mirror. They were $2 on sale and all it took was 30 mins to finish this makeover.
I wanted to make this easy and mess free so instead of using glue, I used Glue Dots repositionable dispenser to glue the rhinestones to the beveled edge of the mirror.
It's a small detail but the rhinestones added just the right amount of sparkle and personality!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Where id you find the rhinestones and where do you get the glue dots? Love what you did!!!
Do the glue dots hold tightly when you're cleaning your mirror, say with windex or a vinegar solution? We have a huge mirror in our master bathroom which spans over our double sinks and about 2 ft of counter space in between which is screaming for some sort bling. Our area of the country is very humid especially in the summer months plus it being a bathroom it gets even more humid after showering. If the dots won't hold tightly can someone recommend something I can use that will not show but hold tightly to a mirror in these conditions?
