Beach Themed Mirror DIY

If you have a beach themed bathroom this DIY may just be the thing to add a bit of extra style to a bare space in the bath.

Materials :

Used wooden frame (picked up at a yard sale for 50 cents)

Mirror

Jute Cord (3 ply)

E6000 Glue

2 Screw Hooks

Spray Paint

Decorative Beach shells or starfish

Remove glass, advertisements etc from frame and wipe down with damp cloth to remove any stickers, dirt etc.

Important -- drill your holes first on the sides of your frame. You will want to drill a hole slightly bigger than your screw and then gently screw in your screw hooks.

Use 2-3 coats of spray paint your frame (including screws) , any coordinating color will do. We chose a matte spray to prevent too much "shine".

Once your frame is dry (usually takes 24 hours to completely dry after 2-3 coats) turn your frame over and modestly add beads of your glue around the edges where your mirror will sit.

Gently lay your mirror (mirror side down) to the back of your frame and let sit for several hours in a well ventilated area. Make sure not to turn or lift upward your frame until it is completely dry -- otherwise you will have a gluey mess and messy mirror.

Once your mirror is sturdily in place, turn over and decorate with various beach items such as shells or starfish gluing with your E6000 glue.

Finally cut your jute cord 3x the length needed to hang. Fold and loop -- twist and tie knots on either end. Loop onto your screw hooks and hang.
