unnamed (3)It’s polka dot week over at R and R workshop! And since I ADORE polka dots…I had to play along!

whipped up a super easy mirror! easy you can do it diy framed mirror from a dollar store mirror and wood!

I measured the wood….and cut 5 inches extra than the mirror….I wanted it to overlap the mirror so the mirror sits behind it. (Home depot can cut your wood…so no excuses!)

Then I just globbed on wood glue on the inside and put the frame together and then hot glued the back seams with my adtech glue gun. It’ s my crap method –but it actually REALLy holds it well!glue frame together

I wanted a real distressed look…so I watered down the paint and globbed it on. after it dried I used sandpaper to distress it!
