I love decorating my home…but I hate spending too much money….  There are a few stores that I can’t even go in, because I want everything and it makes dislike my house when I go back home.  Unless…I go home and try to create it.

 

I saw a mirror similar to this one at one of my favorite stores, and I have been wanting one for our house that we are renovating at the lake.  We have primed and painted the whole house so I had plenty of paint sticks at home.  I had found the round mirrors for a couple of dollars at a thrift store a few months ago, and I purchased them knowing I would use them eventually.

I wanted the mirror to be as large as possible, because this mirror is on a large wall.

 
I played around with the sticks until I figured out how I wanted my mirror to look.

 

 
And then I started gluing with my glue gun.  I needed some smaller sticks so I used Popsicle sticks.  I cut the rounded ends of the Popsicle sticks with utility scissors. I did not see a way to use the picture hanger that was on the back of the mirror because the sticks had to cover it up, so I glued a picture hanger to the back after placing all the sticks on the mirror.

 

 
I taped off the inside of the mirror with painters tape, and then I cut the center out of a paper plate and taped it to the mirror to make sure the whole mirror was covered before I spray painted it.
 
 

I sprayed the mirror gold, and I loved it, but my dresser had silver drawer pulls so I painted some of the sticks silver.

 
 

I love it!  Especially since it cost me only a few dollars to make!
