Well, I finally did it! 

After about a year of wanting to ditch my Ikea Mongstad floor length mirror in favor of something new  I opted to give it a whole new life and the transformation it deserved. 

Initially my plan was to cover it's dated white exterior with a fun and quirky wallpaper to liven up my boring entryway but as time went on I kept leaning towards texture and drama. Fringe kept popping in my head from time to time but I was honestly too chicken to take the plunge. 

I love fringe chandeliers and furniture right now but I wasn't sure I'd be able to execute it properly for the mirror. Finally, I threw caution to the wind and ordered 20 yards of pink 6" chainette fringe and got to work. There was definitely a bit of trial and error at first - I learned I needed to start from the bottom as opposed to the top but after I got in the groove of measuring, cutting and glueing it seemed as if it was meant to be. 

I cannot properly tell you how in love with it I truly am. It's glam, fun and one-of-a-kind. Plus I was able to shop my house and only spent $33 on fringe to complete the project which is a whole lot less than buying a new mirror.

Measuring Tape
Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks 

- Here's How I Did It - 
Initially I started from the top with the plan to work my way down. Obviously a mistake. So, I switched ends and worked my way up.

I also wanted the fringe detail to wrap just behind the mirror. I dotted each end with a bit of glue, secured and made my way across making sure it lined up evenly. Repeat.

After the bottom part of the mirror was done I measured out pieces for the sides and cut out about 20 pieces at a time to expedite the process. I think I ended up using about 25 for each side.

Once I reached the top I measured out the larger pieces and repeated until I reached the top of the mirror. I glued one last piece to hang over the chainette detail at the top from the back of the mirror. 

Then I finished the very bottom by glueing doubled up scraps to the bottom of the frame and working my way down to add volume and even the out the fringe.
