Transform an old mirror into the perfect Halloween decoration with this DIY haunted mirror. With easy-to-source materials and a creative instinct, this mirror is fairly easy to recreate.
The DIY haunted mirror is a great way to upcycle old furniture. Using an old mirror, black satin spray paint, acetone and a flexible night lighter, you can refashion the glass to look antiqued and scary. Though this DIY looks best with a Gothic black frame, a mirror with a gilt, silver leaf or warm wood frame works just as well. By using the optional frames, it is easier to turn this mirror into a cross-seasonal piece of decor, as opposed to just a Halloween decoration.
The DIY haunted mirror is cost-efficient and certainly worth constructing this Halloween.
