Sarah from Original Youth created this shabby chic decorative mirror using items from the dollar store! She also made the little flower planter to the left of the mirror, using stuff from the same trip to the DS.

Project Estimate:

  • Frame $1
  • Etched mirror $1
  • Crochet-edged doily
  • Scrapbooking paper $1 (or on hand)
  • White paint (on hand)

Total cost: $4

Her process:
I painted everything!  I took out the flower prints in the frames and put in wallpaper and scrapbook paper scraps from my stash, then put the doilies inside, and the mirrors on top!

Bonus tip: She painted the garishly fluorescent flower planter with a couple layers of white paint, and then distressed it.
