How do I make a gilded mirror?
You can make an imitation gilded mirror by spray painting the frame of a mirror with metallic paint. Tape off the reflective surface of the mirror to ensure a clean painting job. Wood appliques can be sprayed and attached to the frame to add to the effect. Shop a range of authentic gilded mirrors on 1stDibs.
