Pottery Barn Knock Off Mirror – Easy DIY
Have you seen these Pottery Barn 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 mirror using Dollar Tree mirrors.

Pottery Barn Knock-Off Mirror Instructions
I started with 6, 8×10 mirrors from Dollar Tree. These aren’t stylish mirrors, but I am going to make them into something great!
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).

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. 🙂

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.
