This week IDS17 is coming to Toronto and I'm so excited to be featuring the event on the blog. Stay tuned to the blog for my "must-see" list plus my real-time Instastories during the event.

Speaking of which I was asked by Krylon to prepare a DIY piece for their booth at IDS17. Anytime I am asked to create something for a certain purpose I am thrilled and inspired. Seriously, I think I live for these challenges. I've had my eye on this Krylon Looking Glass spray paint for some time. It's a spray paint that turns any glass surface into a mirror. I didn't believe it myself until I tried and I was amazed. So here are the details of my DIY Anthropologie inspired Mirror.

Here are the things I used in this project; Krylon Looking Glass Spray paint, floral fabric, frame and scissors. Full disclosure, I experimented with a few different technique for this project and it ended up that the simplest solution was my favourite solution.


I bought these shirts off the clearance rack at Forever 21 awhile ago (I bought them because they were similar to Ellie Casham's dark floral wallpaper - gorgeous!). I'm always looking for unique places for DIY inspiration.


I took the glass out of the frame and lightly sprayed it with the looking glass spray (all over but some areas heavier than others).



Then I cut a piece of fabric to fit the frame.


And assembled. So easy!


That's it! You could do this technique with any fabric or even a photo. 


To add another layer of depth you could try spraying the glass with a water-vinegar solution before the looking glass spray paint. It will add little drops similar to mercury glass (I tried this but in the end I preferred the plain spray.


See below for how reflective these turned-out - can you see me lol?


Be sure to stop by the Krylon booth at #IDS17 for a closer look at this DIY.
