Janice Scott Thanks Janice!!

[@aricar325]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. Your mirror frame turned out so well!! It's given me an idea that will save me a lot of money over buying wood molding and making frames to cover the metal window frames inside my travel trailer. Going for a country cottage look. Cheers!

[@Hectanooga1]

Sounds like a super great idea Arica! I certainly do use papier mache techniques for many, many things!!

[@sheilahenderson5220]

That is the easiest paper machete I've ever seen. Thank you!!

[@skbwolverine]

Genius! I have been wanting a different kind of mirror in our spare bedroom; this just might be what I will try (something similar). Thanks for sharing!!!

[@barbarabenson8293]

Absolutely amazing. I might try latex as a binding or gluing agent and then chalk paint and dark wax as a finishing. I'm going to try this for a door mirror.

[@marisolpearls9276]

What an awesome idea! Thanks!

[@Hectanooga1]

Marisol Pearls Thank you Marisol!

[@dawnrichards833]

[@Hectanooga1]

trvlbuggy Yay! So happy to hear it gave you some ideas!!

[@SandiRose2008]

I've been looking at my bathroom mirror for a year now trying to come up with an inexpensive idea without framing it in wood. Cardboard! Well, why didn't I think of that. Ha Ha. Thanks Emi.

[@Hectanooga1]

SandiRose27 Cardboard is very valuable to me! I find creative ways to store it in the basement so that it doesn't take too much room... cause a girlnever knows when she will need cardboard for crafting!!

[@TinkerDean]

Beautiful!

[@LoveIsYourPower]

Nicely done!

[@Hectanooga1]

+Viva Cristo Rey! Thanks Viva!

[@dyeitb1ack]

Hi Emi, brilliant project, love how it turned out! I was wondering if this would also work with chalk paint or watered down acrylic? Thanks for your help!

[@Hectanooga1]

dyeitb1ack Yes, it would work with chalk paint or watered down acrylic paints.

[@hildaclarke444]

wow i love it good job please lets see more of that hod bless

[@velizabeth100]

SO cute

[@IndyPurl]

Hi Emi, your talent is never ending. This is great! On the back you said you have about 7 layers of paper. Is that just around the hanger area for reinforcement or did you use that many layers all over?

[@Hectanooga1]

Indy Purl Hi Indy... just around the wire hanger, to make it more secure.

[@RoseJ143]

Brilliant DIY tfs sweety : )

[@MzSanchez87]

awesome !!

[@elisafox3829]

Is there anything you can't do? I love you!!

[@trychrochet71]

you are so clever

[@starlittle18]

Great idea! What kind of paint did you use as your base coat?

[@Hectanooga1]

Bernadett David It was a can of BEHR paint that I bought in the mix-tints section for $3.00,

[@steamriceroll]

What kind of white paint do you use ? I am not familiar with paint, there are many kinds of paint in the hardware store. I will use ivory or silver colour for my bathroom.

[@Hectanooga1]

steamriceroll It was just latex wall paint.... I always buy the mis-tints when I see them for a few dollars, because I can always use paint. But you could also use craft paint in the little bottles, it's just that for big projects, it would cost so much to use those. So any type of paint that would go on walls is great, and I always use latex for ease of clean-up.

[@heatherlikey]

One other thing, if I were to cover the top of the project with paint, could I use paper mâché paste, like Mod Podge or flour and water, which are generally cheaper; or do I need to use the paint?

[@Hectanooga1]

heatherlikey You could use any glue instead of the paint... I usually use it because when I am done, I am done, it eliminates one step. I buy my paints as mis tints, so I don't pay very much for them. Flour and water is fine... but I usually cook it in the microwave first, just to get it to a sticky consistency, I don't know if that preserves it or not.. or watered down white glue could be used as well. I find mod podge rather pricey, so for a large project like this, I think flour and water would be the less expensive route to take.

[@heatherlikey]
