Message from Maggie:  Originally bought at the thrift, we used these mirrors at our wedding for decoration.  During our shed reorg this weekend I found them and thought they’d be perfect for the bridal shower I am hosting this weekend.

What you need:

• Mirror
• Spray paint (optional)
• Chalk ink
• Stencils (optional)

Instructions:

1. Determine what you want the mirror to say. (Note:  Here I did a menu to highlight what we’d be serving including drinks, apps, main, sides, and dessert.  I also indicated which items were gluten free and vegetarian for our guests.  I created a second mirror to use as a welcome sign that said “Old, new, borrowed, blue.  Jamie is ready to say I do!  Then added the date and said Welcome to the Shower.”)
2. Using stencils and your own handwriting begin writing, tracing, and drawing.
3. If you make mistakes just windex them away.

Cost:

Since I had the mirrors, which were already sprayed plus chalk ink and stencils, this project cost me nothing!

• Mirrors: You can get cheapies from the thrift for around $10 depending on size
• Chalk ink: $4 a marker
