Primary TechniqueFlorals/Wreaths

Easy

Materials:

  • Wooden framed mirror  (Mirror shown is 36" x 24" ) 
  • "Shabby Chic" flower trim (enough to cover the entire surface of the frame) Rule of thumb for amount of ribbon: Perimeter of frame times width of the wood frame. Amount shown (Frame is 36" x 24" = 120" perimeter, width of wood frame 5 1/2 inches =660 inches or 18.3 yards of flower trim.) 
  • 2 cans Krylon® ColorMaster™ Enamel Paint - One a shade darker than the other (Gloss Ocean Breeze and Satin Periwinkle shown)
  • Hot Glue Gun/glue sticks
  • masking tape and paper

Instructions:

  1. Remove mirror from frame or mask off glass and cover with paper to prevent paint and glue from getting on the mirror.
  2. Gently clean off wood frame to remove any dust/dirt on surface of frame.
  3. Spray an even base coat of Krylon ColorMaster paint onto the wood frame and allow to dry.
  4. Using the hot glue gun, adhere the flower trim to the wood frame, completely covering the surface.
  5. Using lighter color, and a sweeping motion, spray flower covered frame with Krylon ColorMaster paint. Gradually build up color until you have achieved the shade desired. For a lighter shade you may also spray further away, for a darker shade move closer to your project. 
  6. Using the darker color of Krylon ColorMaster paint and holding the can 18inches to 2 feet away from frame gently mist the frame. The gentle mist will just settle on the tops of the flowers giving them depth of color
  7. Allow to dry and then remove tape and paper. 
  8. Hang and enjoy your mirror!
