Budget Tip of the Day: Mirrored Vase
Image via Budget Wise Home
I am so excited about how this DIY mirror project turned out. It really could not be simpler. Just take simple craft store mirrors and attach to a flat surfaced vase to add some instant glamour to your space. You can buy packs of these mirrors in both square and circle shapes and they come in an array of sizes. Play around with a few and come up with your own unique design. Attach with a hot glue gun and that’s it. Easy peasy!
Here is what I started with:
I found this vase at a thrift store last year and have used it for countless projects. I bought one 25-pack of smaller square mirrors and two 5-packs of the larger squares. Each pack cost me $1.99 at Michael’s.
I wasn’t sure I wanted this to be permanent, so instead of hot glue, I just used some strong double stick tape. It works good for the time being, but definitely not something that will hold up for a long time. But I like how it turned out so much that I might have to break out the glue gun.
I gave it a nice home on my nightstand. I LOVE having fresh flowers to wake up to in the morning. It only happens maybe twice a year when I actually splurge on buying myself flowers, but I fully enjoy it while they last. One of life’s little luxuries, I think.
Come back tomorrow for one last DIY mirror project for the week.
I’m linking this on up to:

I really like this idea. I have some small mirrors that I am “inheriting” and wanted to find a good use for them.
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I linked to this post today from the new Home & Garden channel at Craft Gossip.
My hope is to share many of the fabulous projects I see everyday with the vast CG audience. I hope you will not only stop by and subscribe to CG, but will tell your friends about the new category! Hope you see some traffic from it!
