Alicia's Flower Mirror


  My daughter's room has a floral theme - Pottery Barn Kids "Mallory," so I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this mirror as soon as I saw it's shape and size. The mirror ties in with the bedding and is the perfect finishing touch for the room.

What you need:

  • (2) cans of Krylon Indoor/Outddor in Ballet Slipper (satin finish)
  • Blue painter's tape
  • Cardboard box (to use as a surface when spraying the mirror)

How and How Long:

  1. This project was super quick and easy. It took about 5 minutes to mask off the mirror.
  2. I sprayed the mirror outdoors, letting it dry 15-20 minutes between coats. After spray painting it with Krylon's "Ballet Slipper," I centered the mirror above the dresser. It took about 3-4 coats for full coverage. 
  3. Then, I took some 12x12 sheets of card stock and cut random petals to create my template, making sure the petals were the right size for the mirror. I placed them around the mirror with tape and began tracing each one until I liked the spacing.
  4. Then with my coordinating paint, I began painting each petal, using my pencil lines as a guide. I kept the mirror in place as I painted each petal, so as not to lose the center.
  5. I'm so thrilled with the outcome! The mirror ties in with the bedding and is the perfect finishing touch for the room. The lamp shade shows you the fabric that inspired me. You can visit the full tutorial at www.sweetavakate.blogspot.com.
Approximate project time: 2 hours.

Cost is $15 for spray paint and supplies.
