Ikea Mirror Makeover

Awhile ago, I bought six black mirrors from Ikea. I loved how 

cheap they were ($1.99 each) and that they were square 10 x 10 which was

the perfect size for the space I needed. They came in multiple colors, but I went with black at the time.  Now that we moved into our new town house, I couldn't find anywhere to hang them.

I finally decided that they would look good on a blank wall in our dining room. They were perfect, but

they were plain and went unnoticed. So I decided to spice 

them up. Here is what they looked like before. 

Plain right? So I thought about spray painting them, glittering them, etc. But nothing actually stood out to me...until I took a trip to Jo-Ann's for a different project and found the perfect makeover tool. 

These Decorative Nails by Dritz Home came in multiple colors and shapes. I chose round silver nails and was on my way! P.S. these babies only cost me $1.99 for 36!

What you need:

• Mirrors
• Decorative nails 3/8" 9.5 mm
• Rubber Mallet (a hammer will scratch the nails so if you don't have a rubber mallet, place a wash cloth over hammer head and secure with a rubber band)
• Cutting Board
• Ruler
• Pencil

STEP 1: I cleared off my table and laid out all six mirrors. I wiped them down with a wet paper towel to remove any dust and then let them air dry. 

STEP 2: Here came the fun part. I didn't want all the mirrors to have the same pattern, so I laid my nails where I wanted them on each mirror. Coming up with six different patterns with only 36 nails was a challenge that I accepted and conquered! 

STEP 3: I placed one mirror on top of a cutting board (the nails poke through the mirrors a teeny tiny bit) and measured out where I wanted the nails so that they would all be even. I then marked the area with a pencil and hammered in the nails. I continued with all six mirrors until they were done. 

STEP 4: Hang on wall and wait for compliments.
