I upcycled this Ikea Malma mirror for my younger son. He had been sick with the chicken pox for a few days, and we used the time we had today to work on a project together.
Because this is a more elaborate design I made a blueprint. I traced the frame:
And I traced around the mirror bit as well, so I knew exactly how much space I had to work with,
While I made the sketch of what I wanted S used some sand paper to sand the surface of the frame. This was both to give him a job and to help the paint stick better.
I used acrylic paints and a matt acrylic finish.
There is even a tiny pirate peeking out of a cabin hole.
