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.

    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!
