DIY Driftwood Mirror


You may recall that mirror I was working on last fall and me promising to do a tutorial?  Well, it would have happened sooner, but I ran out of driftwood and the snow kept me from finding the right pieces( at least that's my story).  I finally finished, and even feel a little silly doing a  tutorial because it's so simple and uncomplicated.

PS.  Don't forget about the giveaway, today is the last day and winner is announced tomorrow!

1.  First off, I bought a mirror from Ikea for $10

2.  I found driftwood off the shore of Lake Ontario (think lots and lots of trips).  I may or may not have been that neighbor- I at least felt like it.

3.  This may be an obvious one, but I found (through trial and error) that mounting the mirror before applying the driftwood was the best way to go about this.  I then simply used a glue gun and started adding layer upon layer upon layer.  *You should note that you do not want to have any glue strings hanging when applying.  This will just end up being a disaster (not that I know).

4.  Add more layers

 5.  And there you have it!  Total cost was roughly $13 ($3 for the fixtures to hang the mirror)!
