Give an existing mirror a new look for the holidays with a simple makeover and a frosted technique is perfect! The look without the shivers and frozen toes.
Materials:
- Framed mirror
- FrogTape®
- Frosted Glass Spray Paint
- Vinyl Decal
What I did: (pardon for the poor quality tutorial photos – this was something I worked on in the evening for a party the next day!)
Using FrogTape, I taped off the beveled edge of the mirror. I also liked the mirror’s metallic frame so I taped that off too. Using my thumbnail, I burnished the edge of the tape so that I’d have a crisp clean spray paint line.
Apply a vinyl decal. I used a deer head I created using my Silhouette Cameo. You can use stickers or create your own decal from adhesive vinyl. If you’re artistic, try lining up strips of FrogTape, sketching your own design to cut out and apply to the mirror.
Spray one coat for a light frosted finish, more for a more solid frosting. I went with one light coat.
Remove FrogTape and decals.
Let the frost dry then display! Perfect for a winter wonderland themed mantel, don’t you think?
I can use it from fall, Thanksgiving, winter and Christmas or even display it all year long. Wouldn’t a monogram be lovely?
Do you spy the wooden chevron {ShapeTape} table runner? See how to make that here.

Hi Roeshel,
Your mantel turned out beautiful! Love the combination of whites, silver and gold. The frosted mirror really was a wonderful finishing touch.

Beautiful! I love your mantel! Is this frosting permanent or can it wash away?
Thanks! It’s permanent, Kristin. I mean…it’s possible it could be scraped off with a razor blade, maybe? But it’s more of a spray paint than temporary option.
