Hardware Store DIY Mirrors

Do you love creating decor from the hardware store? I have a fun project to share with you from the house. I’d found a round mirror and spray painted it gold, but it wasn’t as big as I wanted. I decided to make it appear bigger by making some smaller mirrors. I did a little hardware store trolling and came up with an electrical box fitting,a water heater fitting and a craft mirror from Micheal’s to put these hardware store DIY mirrors together.

First I spray painted them a pretty gold color. I decided to use a matte gold spray paint so they weren’t too shiny.

After they dried, I glued the craft mirrors into the electrical box fitting area and then backed it with cardboard to give it some sturdiness and a place to hang it from.

I then used an all purposed glue to adhere the two fittings together. Once they were dry, I added the picture hanger on the back. Make sure to use an all-purpose glue that will really hold the mirrors in place.

It was a really easy project and I love how they turned out, and how they look with the other mirror. They mimic the shape perfectly.

I also spray painted some metal craft flowers and used those to balance out the mirrors on top. To hang them you can use the holes that are already there, or you can add a wire to the back. The nice thing about the metal fronts is that they have a ruffled edge which looks super cute when painted!
