Before

After

Step 1: Get some chart paper and cut it in the shape of your mirror. You might need to cut and paste more than one chart paper to get the shape, but that doesn’t matter since the paint should conceal that. I used rectangular pieces of chart paper to cover my mirror. I made sure my rectangles were a little smaller than the width of my mirror frame, since I wanted some wood to show.

Step 2: Now we need to give an ombre effect. Use a sponge and put the darkest paint on the edge of the paper, followed by lighter paints. Do the same from the opposite edge and leave the middle white.

Make sure you paint over a newspaper!

Add the darkest color first.

Tip: After you’ve used the lightest color, add some paint to a toothbrush and spray it at the junction of the white part and the lightest color. This will give a better ombre finish.

                    Step 3: Stick this onto your mirror and you have a renewed mirror frame!
