If your mirror already has a frame, changing the color with a simple coat of paint can transform it into something new. Choose white, black, or a neutral tone for a minimalist look for the mirror. Alternatively, paint the frame a bright, bold color such as red, blue, or green, if you want to make a statement piece.  Protect the mirror while you paint the frame. Either remove the mirror from the frame or stick newspaper over the mirror with painter's tape while you work. You don't have to only choose 1 color for the frame. Try designing your own pattern on the mirror frame using 2 or more colors. For example, you could paint the frame a base color, and then add flowers or hearts in a second color. Create a rounded frame that branches outwards from the center of the mirror. Get thin wood shims, metal kebab skewers, or plastic spears, and arrange these in a circular formation that follows the shape of the mirror. Glue your final arrangement down to the back of the mirror so that each beam sits past the circular edge to create standout rays.  The beams of the sunburst frame don't have to be even. Use a variety of different lengths to create a true sunburst effect. You could also use clothespins to make the sunburst beams. Either find clothespins in your preferred color or pick wooden clothespins and spray paint them. Place a small amount of craft glue onto the back of each clothespin and stick them down to the edge of the mirror, following the circular shape. Cut the handle off the plastic spoons and spray paint each remaining bowl of the spoon in your preferred color. Add a drop of glue to the center of the back of each spoon bowl. Stick each spoon bowl down onto the frame of a circular mirror and follow the rounded shape. Add an extra 2-3 layers of spoon bowls to make the frame wider, simply by securing the new spoons to the spoons that are already there.  Orient the spoons so the bowls face toward you as you look in the mirror. You can also use whole spoons rather than just the bowls if you prefer.  To make a frame that looks like a flower, make the layer of spoons that is the closest to the mirror a dark color and make each subsequent, wider layer a lighter shade. For example, start with a deep purple layer and have 3-4 more layers that slowly lighten. The widest, final layer on the frame would be a light purple. Measure the length of the sides of a rectangular mirror. Choose a tile mat that goes with the style that you are aiming for. Measure out the required lengths on the tile mat and cut it to size. Attach the strips of tile mat to each side of the mirror frame using a silicone adhesive and wait for it to set completely before hanging the mirror.  Tile mats are long rolls of small tiles that are backed onto a mat which you can cut to the required size. You can purchase these from home improvement stores. Make sure that you choose a tile mat that is the correct width for the frame. You can get a mixture of tile and stone tile mats, which can create a minimalist, neutral style. Alternatively, look for bright blue or green tiles if you want the mirror to be bright and stand out. Get a length of rope and wrap it around the frame. Make sure that it is long enough to cover all of the parts of the frame that you had planned. Attach it to the front of the frame using a strong adhesive and let it dry completely before you hang it up.  You can cover the whole front of the frame with rope or just along the edge of the mirror. Alternatively, you can leave the front of the frame blank and just use the rope to cover around the side of the frame. You don't need to remove the mirror to do any of these options. To make the most of the coastal style, you can also choose to hang the frame using rope. Securely attach a length of rope to the back of the mirror and hang it in an entranceway or bathroom. Hemp rope is an ideal material to use. Start with a round mirror that doesn't already have a frame. Choose a round piece of thin wood such as plywood and glue the doily onto the center. Spray paint the wood and the doily your preferred color. Attach the mirror on top of this new frame using a strong adhesive and make sure that the lace edges of the doily are exposed around the mirror.  White, cream or soft colors such as a very pale pink, blue or yellow all work well for creating vintage style mirrors. Choose a large doily and a small mirror if you want a lot of lace exposed or go for a larger mirror and a small doily to place less emphasis on the lace.
