My daughter moved away to college in August. As with most teenagers, her room could have been declared a national disaster. Don't get me wrong, I love her to pieces and miss her madly. But...I had been waiting for years to get in to that room and give it the proper make over it deserved. It took me a little while, but once the ideas started flowing, the room turned out beautiful. I can't wait until she comes back at Christmas to see it for the first time. Whether or not I allow her to stay in it is an entirely different story :)
I had one small space in the corner of the room where I wanted to put a small mirror. I looked around in a few stores but found nothing. The truth is, I'm an artist and almost everything on the walls of our home was made either by me or another artist. So I had to laugh at myself when it hit me that I should stop trying to find a store bought object and, instead, dig in to my pinterest boards for my own DIY solution.
I loved these plastic spoon mirrors from my very first pin. The total project cost me about $11. Here's a list of supplies that I used:
2 packs of white plastic spoons (48 in each package)
Brushed Nickel spray paint by Valspar
One mirror (4.75") from Michael's
Glue gun
Cardboard
When I tell you that this was so easy to make (about 30 minutes), I am not exaggerating. I looked around at quite a few instructions on-line (and there are many), I decided to go with the easiest. Here is the link:

This was so ridiculously fun to make. I'm already thinking of more color combinations (think Ombre) I'm sure there'll be a whole crop of them popping up around my house or at least gifts for the holidays!
