This mirror is perfect for the bathroom. Our DIY Tiered Tray will complement it beautifully and make your space look elegant.

How do you paint the clothespins?

Spray paint all the clothespins outside, make sure to dry each side before doing the other side-you don’t want smudges. The copper paint takes this Clothespin Mirror to the next level, very elegant looking.

After clipping all the clothespins on, how do they stay on?

You need to flip the wreath over and add E6000 glue to every other clothespin. Now, this might take some time, but it is so worth it in the long run.

How do you attach the mirror?

Super easy, attach with hot glue to the back of the wreath.
