Instructions

  1. Small 2014 03 18 135353 6a017ee3c48414970d01a73d85bfd6970d 800wi

    Tape off the part of the frame you want to paint. I marked it off diagonally for a little bit of a geometric look. Within that area, tape off all the places the mirror meets the frame.

    Paint the frame. I only needed one coat of paint to get the look I desired. Let it dry before peeling off the tape. I used a sharp knife to scrape off some of the paint that had bled through.
