DIY: Frosted Quote Mirror

A friend of ours is in the process of buying her first house so we have been thinking of ideas of presents to buy her as a moving in gift. She is someone who really appreciates homemade gifts, I think because she doesn’t possess the same creative capabilities as Lucy and I. Having seen a can of frosting spray when I’d been out shopping for crafting supplies, I came up with the idea of creating a piece of wall art using a mirror and a thoughtful quote. It turned out exactly as we’d hoped and we know our friend will absolutely love the thought and effort that we have put into it.

What You’ll Need

• A mirror
• Frosting spray paint
• A4 white sticker

Instructions

1. Type your chosen words on to an A4 sized page in Photoshop. I used Brannboll in size 160pt.
2. Print these words on to your A4 sticker and cut them out.
3. Clean the mirror thoroughly and stick the words on in your chosen position.
4. Take your mirror and frosting spray outside or to a well ventilated area. Completely cover the mirror using the frosting spray, following the instructions on the side of the can.
5. Apply approximately 3 coats of the frosting spray, making sure that the paint is completely dry before applying each.
6. Once the last coat is dry, slowly peel off the words one-by-one to reveal your masterpiece!
7. Fix your mirror on your chosen wall using the fixings provided.
