Have you seen these mirrors? I love them and want one but holy cow! $299 and up for these and that is just not in my budget. I created a Pottery Barn inspired mirror using Dollar Tree mirrors.
Here is the picture of the original at Pottery Barn. Do you see the price?!!!
I started with 6, 8×10 mirrors from Dollar Tree.
I pulled the mirror out of each frame and set it aside.
I painted each of the frames with Folk Art Home Decor Chalk Paint in the color Silver Shadow. I dry brushed it on, and used a chip brush. This would help give it the farmhouse look I was going for.
Once all of the frames dried, I set them in the shape I wanted. I replaced all the mirrors back into the frames.
I then used E6000 to glue all of the edges touching together.
I placed gaffers tape over all of the creases and the diagonally making an “x” for added reinforcement.
I hot glued on a piece of foam core board cut to size on the back. Now the piece was nice and solid.
I placed picture hanging Command Strips in each of the 4 corners so that I could hang the piece up on the wall.
I hung the piece in my entry way and think it makes a nice statement (and at a fraction of the cost).

Wow, it’s amazing how close yours looks to the inspiration piece! Pinned. Visiting from Bloggers Pit Stop.
Thank you so much Allyson, I’m thrilled you think so.
I love this idea! After some thought I could see that I have the perfect place to put one of my own. It turned out wonderful and now that area has it’s on special decor. Thanks for showing us the idea. 🙂
Thank you Linda and thanks for sending me the picture of yours – I love seeing those 🙂
This is ingenious! I love the way it came out and the fact that it was made from dollar store mirrors!
Thank you so much Kate, I’m thrilled you like it 🙂
I love how it turned out! I have been wanting to do one of these, but I haven’t liked the idea of putting a whole bunch of Popsicle sticks on the back. I never thought of using that tape. I will have to try it!
Thank you Cherryl, and I have a bigger version that I built a few years back and it’s holding up great!
It looks great, I did one similar but mine fell down and broke. 🙂
Thank you Anita, and oh no – I’m so sorry to hear that. I have a bigger one that I made a few years back and it’s still hanging and going strong.
What an amazing Pottery Barn knock-off, Chaz! And so amazingly affordable, too! I’m featuring your windowpane mirror at Tuesday Turn About tomorrow! See you there!
Thank you so much Julie for the feature and kind words. I truly appreciate it. I’ll see you at the next party.
