do you know how to give a mirror an antiqued mirror from the front(mirror side)…it is glued to wall and cant remove it
Diana from the from you would have to use a paint technique because nothing will go through the glass to the silvered under surface. I would try using mildly diluted craft paint in brown or black whatever you prefer, apply it with a stencil brush which will give you a little more broken up coverage and then after that is dry spray it with water with a spray bottle and then spray the looking glass spay over that. I would spray a lot of water to get lots of drips and streaks. the looking glass spray will dry like a mirror and you will have a lot of texture. hope that helps
thank you so much….. i am going to try and do some experimenting!!!!!!!! you have given me a good starting point…..mirrored wall is 12 feet high and 10 feet long….ugh!!!!
I would start at the edges and corners that is where mirror seem to go first and if you don’t like the effect you can scrape it off. With glass paint comes off very easily
I like your Mason jars. I have a lot of them…. I was wondering where did you get the pumps for the soap dispensers or did you buy some cheap dispensers and use the pumps from them?
I just get them from the dollar store from the dollar liquid soaps then I have liquid soap to use as refills also 🙂
