REDOING A FREE FOYER MIRROR WITH SILVER LEAF

 A friend of a friend gave me this mirror for free.  I wasn't happy with the gold.  I was needing a new foyer mirror since I gave my daughter the last one.  It was small enough that it wouldn't take too much time to silver leaf it.

I used post it notes so the glue wouldn't get under the frame.




I used the spray adhesive I had on hand. I would spray the area and then wait about 20 seconds before applying the silver leaf.





Sorry for the blurry picture.


I used only 8 of the 18 sheets of silver leaf out of this package.


Notice that I didn't redo the base of the mirror.  You would never see it.
