Nifty AND Thrifty!

Here's a cool Halloween craft, or if you just want to play a practical joke on someone...I thought this was pretty cool...

Here’s what you need to make a spooky Halloween Mirror:

- a small old looking frame (thrift store)
- an old book (thrift store)
- razor blade for scraping
-glossy black spray paint
Creepy image, right?! You could also use an old image of an ancestor. Although that might freak your kids out more. I personally would put a picture of my family members making a scary face to add more personalization...
1. Take the mirror apart.
2. Cut out the picture to fit the frame.
3. Scrape off the coating on the back of the mirror.
4. When scrapping try not to scrape off too much. Less is more here. Check it as you go with the picture underneath.
5. See, it looks good here. If I was to do it again, I would scrape a lot less, trying not to scratch too much.
6. Tape the picture to the back of your mirror.
7. Spray your little frame with black spray paint. Then assemble it all together, and
…VOILA!!

There you have it! A spooky mirror that you’ll want to keep face down most of the time.
