I enjoy giving my home various pieces to make it look different once in a while. Mirrors help me achieve this and bring a lot of light inside my home. I used a very old tray I bought in a garage sale for $1.50 dollars and made it look way more expensive than that. My mirror had pointy corners so I asked a friend that's an expert cutting glass to make them round to fit better.

Use your sanding block (or just a regular sand paper) all over the tray to get a smooth surface. This will make the tray get very dusty so you'll have to clean it afterwards and let it dry.
Primer

Use the spray primer in all your frame. Give it an even layer and let it dry perfectly.
Gold

Now use your gold spray paint and paint the frame with it. I chose gold but you can use any color you want.
Paint two layers and let it dry between each.
Glue Mirror

Put a line of cold silicon inside the tray. Place your mirror with the reflective side facing out and press it down from all the sides. Let it dry for 3 hours before hanging.
I use an easel to hold it but if you want to hang it in a wall you can also add alligator hooks behind the tray with cold silicon.
