Medallion Mirror
Materials:
- ceiling medallion
- primer
- yellow/gold base paint
- wood stain (medium brown )
- mirror that fits medallion opening or sheet mirror tile
- heavy-duty glue
- straightedge
- glasscutter
- picture hanger
Steps:
1. Prime medallion if necessary and allow to dry. Apply two coats of base coat paint .
2. Once dry, apply stain. Let it sink into the crevices and pool. Wipe the top edges of the medallion to create an antiqued look, depth and texture.
3. Secure mirror (and cardboard backing if necessary) to the medallion back with glue. If using a tile, cut sheet mirror to size. To cut a mirror, hold a straightedge ruler in place and score once along it using a glasscutter. Hold the line over a table edge and snap the mirror along it. Attach to medallion as above.
4. Attach picture hanger on the back.
