My sister and I went thrifting and came across this $2 mirror. I have been wanting to make a chalkboard and I thought this little number might just be the ticket to a cheap one. I started by sanding the frame and scratching the mirror with sandpaper so that the spray paint would adhere…
After sanding I sprayed the frame white, I didn’t tape off the mirror portion but rather just sprayed. After the white paint dried I taped off the frame like this…
After taping off the frame I sprayed the chalkboard spray paint. I had to do about 3 coats of this because of the mirrored surface.
I had a bit of trouble keeping the chalkboard paint off of the frame so that is the reason I decided to go shabby chic. I ended up sanding some of the frame so that the original black showed through.
