Mirror to Chalkboard Conversion
This mirror was given to us many years ago. It didn’t quite fit the style or decor we were going for so it languished in a downstairs closet until I saw this tutorial.
The decoration on the mirror is a raised surface so after removing the mirror I used chalkboard spray paint on the back. When I went to purchase the chalkboard spray paint another customer cautioned me that the spray paint may not cover my surface well and recommended buying chalkboard paint that rolls on. I bought the spray paint anyway and used the entire can with multiple layers of paint.
Before I mounted the mirror in the frame I conditioned the surface. Just hold the chalk sideways and “white out” the entire the surface then wipe it off with an eraser or soft cloth.
