If you like this project, I’d love if you pop by and give my blog a visit at Check out the Initial String Art you may have noticed in the photos above. Our buyers select only the finest antiques from sources renown throughout the design industry. I’m imagining a whole gallery wall of a mix of frame sizes and shapes - how amazing would that be? Antique Mirror styles range from Louis Philippe, Art Deco, Empire, Florentine, Regency, Neoclassical, Louis XV, Louis XVI and more hailing from France, England, Italy, Holland, Austria and beyond. Pretty cool, right? If you love the vintage mirror look, then this project is for you. The more droplets of the vinegar mixture you begin with, the more black marks you’ll end up with at the end. When you take a closer peek at all the detail, you can really tell you have all the control with this project. It just makes all that work you put into antiquing your glass, POP! The Krylon Spray is just mirrored and shiny enough to pull off that cool thrifted vibe. A little scuff here, a little chalk paint there… you could really get things looking vintage!
Lets see how many people you can fool with your faux antique effect! I chose to leave my white frame alone to really pop against my black brick, but the sky’s the limit with what you could do to your photo frames to compliment your new antiqued glass. All that’s left to do is assemble your frame and enjoy your new antique mirror! I think it allows for a little more variation in the finished project. It’s a little hard to tell in the photo above, but the middle of my glass has less black spray paint applied than the edges. I chose to let up on my black spray paint towards the center of my glass. You could spray this evenly and heavily if you wish, for maximum contrast. This is where your black spray paint comes in. Lastly, you need to give it some contrast to really highlight that antique mirror look. I think this gives it a bit more of a realistic look. Notice I have larger splotches around the edges of my glass. You should be left with something that looks a bit like the photo above. You might choose at this stage to spray a little more Krylon Looking Glass Spray onto your glass - but keep in mind you’ll be covering over the clear spots you created with your vinegar mixture, thereby reducing the amount of antiquing effect you’ll be left with at the end of your project. You want to be gentle and remove all the moisture you can without rubbing or scrubbing at your glass. Let it sit a minute.Īfter you’re satisfied with your coverage, use your paper towel to dab away the vinegar + water mixture. I did a few passes to make sure I achieved good coverage. Yep, right over top of your vinegar + water mixture. Next (and this may feel a little strange), spray your Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint all over the glass. I chose to apply it heaviest in all four corners of my picture frame glass. You want to achieve a variation in droplet sizes, and attempt to get a random pattern. Spray your vinegar + water mixture over the glass. *Note: You need to apply the effects to the backside of your glass.* Now, with most picture frames there is no right or wrong side, but if you’re working with a bevel or curve, or some kind of special fit, you’ll want to keep this in mind! Clean the glass and place it right-side down onto your work space.
A Spray Bottle with a Half and Half Mix of Water to Vinegarįirst, you’ll need to disassemble your picture frame.

ANTIQUE MIRROR HOW TO
You’ll see what I mean! How to Make an Easy DIY Antique Mirror But, the wait is over! Time to experiment a little and see if I can pull off a DIY antiqued effect on a mirror - though, it’s not a mirror at all. Hello Remodelaholics, I’m Jen from Fresh Crush and I’m back with another fun DIY project! This little ditty has been on my mind for-eva! I had some of the supplies ready to go but with our big home renovation, I just never seemed to find the time to get it done.
