Have you found anything great at yard sales this summer? My daughter is obsessed with all things princess and dress up and I found the perfect mirror for her dress up corner. It was only $5! I even have a little tutorial to show you how I made the cute little crown with some of
DecoArt's new glass paint!
I started out with my $5 garage sale mirror and some of
DecoArt's gloss enamel glass paint in glitter because everyone knows that you can't have a crown without some bling.
I spray painted the frame of my mirror silver and once the spray paint was dry I brought it into the house and cleaned the glass with some rubbing alcohol.
I used my vinyl cutting machine to cut out a little crown to use as a stencil. Then I got out my white glitter paint and a makeup wedge to apply it.
Using the foam wedge I dabbed the paint inside the stencil. I was pretty generous with the paint and tried to go over each area just once so I didn't overwork the paint and remove it. I carefully removed the stencil when the paint was still wet and fixed the spots that I messed up on with a tiny paint brush.
The paint has to dry 4 days before it's ready for regular use. One little princess was super excited when her new dress up mirror was ready! I hung it right at her height so it looks like she is wearing the crown when she looks in the mirror. I used some glass hooks to complete her dress up corner.
I couldn't resist the other paints in the DecoArt box and made some cute little butterfly cups too. DecoArt has stick on stencils that work great and make everybody look like a great artist! You just stick the stencils on, dab the paint and then remove and wash the stencil and reuse them!
Way cute. Now E has fancy cups to go with her fancy mirror. The best thing is that you can stick the glasses in the oven and bake them to make them dishwasher proof!
