Here is my mirror I Mod Podged! I think it actually looks pretty good :)
Sam found it on the curb a few weeks after my other one had been knocked over by our cat, Willis, and broke. To do this I bought some wrapping paper from Honk's, our local dollar store. I just cut out little sections and glued it on with the Mod Podge and then went over it again with Mod Podge. My first attempt I tried to do the whole lengths, but that was a disaster! I couldn't get it to lay flat to save my life. I admit I ripped it off in frustration and decided that it would be better to do smaller sections of paper. That worked out a lot better! It still has a few cosmetic issues but overall it looks good.
For the corners I had originally mod podged a kind of gray paper to it that was in the shape of squares but I hated it. So then I painted the squares gold and still wasn't liking it so I ended up cutting out more wrapping paper and making the squares into triangles. Much better!
Here are some pictures of the different steps in no particular order.
Not very good ones. I need to get better at taking step pictures :/ anyways that's my latest project finished! This week I need to work on Halloween costumes!
