i have been wanting to make one of these for a long time but i had to find a mirror with the right frame first. i found this mirror at T.J. Maxx for $10.00.

Before

After
this was super easy to make. please feel free to use any ideas for your own home.
how is what you will need:
What To Do:
first: prime your frame and mirror or glass

second: lightly spray your chalk board paint on your glass(it's ok if you get some paint on the wood).

third: cover your sprayed chalk board area with newspaper(making sure you slide paper under the wood were the glass meets so that you cover all of your board.), tape down all loose areas of paper on your board.

finally: lightly spray on your glossy paint (two or three coats depending on color).

P.S. i might rough the frame up a bit, just so i can see the pretty design on it.

enjoy!

Love it! I too have found that intricate designs look best when distressed a bit...something gets lost when they're just glossy white.
