Thrifted Finds - Mirror with Awesome Frame

For some reason the files for the before and after picture aren't loading...LAME!  But you'll still get the gist.

Here is a sweet plastic $2 mirror I got at the thrift store, but you can't tell it's plastic until you touch it.

 I wasn't so fond of the gold. The backing wouldn't come apart, so I had to just cover the mirror. 

 I taped to pieces of scrap paper together so it covered the whole mirror with a little overlap. I laid it inside the frame and made a crease at the edge of the frame.

 I cut it out, maybe 1/4" or less, past the crease.

 Then I slid the paper under the frame and made sure every part of the mirror was covered.

 Like so...

 Then I painted it in Krylon Watermelon.  

 And I pretty much love it!

This is perfect for my little girl's room and it'll be perfect for the shower I'm hosting!

Lots o' love,

Megan
