"Can you see me?"

First off, we aren't very good at this blogging thing... since it takes forever for us to post anything. Secondly, I wasn't sure what to call this post about redoing a mirror, and my dad said "Can you see me?" so there we go. :)

Items needed:

• Mirror needing redone
• Paint
• Sandpaper
• Mod Podge 
• Masking Tape

To start off, I found this AWESOME mirror at Deseret Industries for $1.50, and it already had hardware on it, so how could I not buy it? It doesn't help that it was already beautiful and didn't necessarily need to be painted.

I wanted to make sure I taped the sides of the mirror so that I wouldn't get any paint on it, and boy can that be the hardest part sometimes! If you don't have a good eye, definitely make sure you have some glasses on so you don't get any masking tape on your frame, and also make sure that NO sides of the mirror are shown so you don't get paint on it.

Also sand during this step so that your paint can adhere to your frame better.

 Now the painting begins! I used a fine grit sand paper, and my frame didn't really care for it, so I ended up having to do about eight layers of paint so that the finished projects didn't look splotchy like it does in the top picture...the bottom one looks much better. :)

 Lately I've been on a "roughed up" looking kick, so before I finished, I sanded some of the sides to make it a little more unique, I suppose you could say. After, I did one coat of matte Mod Podge to finish it off.

 And she's done! I love how it turned out.

 Sorry for being such a slacker and not posting more... We're working on it!
