Antique Mirror Makeover

I found this lovely old antique mirror for sale at a really good price, so I decided to buy it and recycled it. First I took some painter's tape and cardstock and I covered over the mirror.

         I then gave it a lovely coat of acrylic paint. I used Gecko, and Turquoise and mixed in splashes of Antique White. With my Gecko I used a Color Float so I could play with the color and decide where I wanted to put it. I also applied a crackle medium.

After the crackle medium  was dry I put some Tim Holtz Distress Inks from Ranger on a cloth and rubbed it gently into the distressed cracked to complete my age look.

I then glue on some beach glass. I LOVE beach glass! 

   

I also glued on some nifty buttons.

After a bit of lace and rhinestones, my antique mirror is now complete! So cool and easy to do!

Gotta love re-crafting things! You have to give it a try….you will love it!

Have a super crafty day!
