Knockoff Knockout

Mirror, mirror,

on the floor,

you don’t do much

for my decor.

Mirror, mirror,

you’re not deluxe,

I guess that’s why

you cost five bucks.

But don’t feel sad,

don’t feel lame,

You just need some glue

and a chunky frame.

And that’s the story of how Alicia updated her $5 mirrors into the Ballard Design knock-off version you see here. And her version probably costs a million dollars less, so it’s the fairest of them all if you ask me.

I’m not exactly sure what glue-like product she used to make the lines in the glass, because my computer keeps crashing if I’m on it for more than 12 seconds at a time. It’s really exciting, you should definitely not try it.

But Alicia can tell you all the details! Take a closer peek at Thrifty and Chic.

    Poor Lindsey! She used stained glass effect window color paint. But first she drew on her lines with white eye liner to have a pattern to follow.

    Ok – hadn’t thought of using glue for doing this type of project! Cools super cool, and this is from someone who has done a lot of stain-glass work.

    Wow! My wife is going to love this! We both love mirrors but they are so expensive! Thank you for sharing!
