Decorative Halloween Wall Mirrors

 

I typically don't decorate for Halloween (since my kids were young) but I like to come up with Halloween projects because there are so many options. Now, once I execute and idea I let one of my girls take it for their places. I thought these mirrors would be neat and different.

 

In addition, they are versatile, as they can be hung on the wall or placed on a counter top.  You don't have to be able to freehand draw to make these but if not, you will need carbon paper.

 

The mirrors are from Dollar Tree. I painted one black and one white.  I traced the mirror on a piece of paper.  You can either draw your image or print something out from on line.

 

After I drew my image I used the carbon paper to transfer it onto the white mirror, ensuring that it is centered.  I used my black paint pen to outline the image.  This makes the lines sharper than if you were to use your paint brush.

 

I then switched to my brush to fill in the skull head.

 

I did the same process for the black mirror, except I used chalk to transfer the image so that it would show up on the black. I think they do sell colored carbon paper but i had the black already.

 

After they were dry i took my paint pens to do a border around the mirror. I just made little letter "c"'s with curly ends.  I wouldn't focus too much on making them perfect because once its finished, the focus will be on the skull heads. 

 

I used my paint pen to write "trick" and "treat" on the handle to finish it off.   I gave it a light spray with Krylon clear sealer and that was it! My youngest daughter took them for decor for her annual Halloween party.

 

Happy Halloween!
