DIY Gold Gemstone Mirror

By Amy Patterson

We are so obsessed with this gold embellished gemstone mirror from A Beautiful Mess! It’s the epitome of class and goes with almost any style. It’s a great way to add a little sparkle to any room in your home – and, best of all, it’s super cheap and will only take you a few hours.

Here’s what you’ll need:

If you can’t find a mirror that’s already shaped like this one, you’ll need a glass cutter (don’t worry, it’s not as intimidating as it sounds)

 Square Mirror

Metal ruler

Marker

Safety gear (gloves and glasses – should you choose to attempt the glass cutting)

Gem line guide (download here)

Fine grade sandpaper

Contact paper

X-Acto knife

Gold spray paint (or another color, if you’d prefer)

Clear spray paint

Here’s what to do:

Simply put, after shaping the mirror, sand the edges, trace your guiding lines and cover with a few coats of gold spray paint. After it's dried, cut out the shapes and finish with clear spray paint. Check out the result! Get the full DIY here
