Decorate a Mirror
Learn how to decorate a dollar store mirror with wrapping paper and decoupage medium! Perfect for bedroom or dorm room decor.
Yield: 1 mirror
Cost: $5
Materials
- Small round mirror
- Mod Podge Gloss
- Wrapping paper or magazines
- Round balsa wood optional
Instructions
- Carefully cut out the design(s) you want to place on the mirror. They can either stand alone or overlap like a collage.
- Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the backside of the paper cutouts and carefully place on the front of the mirror. Leave overlap if you like.
- Repeat with additional pieces as desired. If any Mod Podge smears on any other areas of the mirror, quickly wipe it away with a damp towel.
- Once your design is final, apply another thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the paper, painting it so that there is only a very thin border of Mod Podge around the paper. Allow to dry completely.
- If desired, apply hot glue to the back of the mirror and stick to a piece of balsa wood that is slightly larger than the mirror for an added accent.

Notes
Tip: use a razor blade or craft knife to remove excess Mod Podge from the mirror surface once it's dried.
