Time to experiment a little and see if I can pull off a DIY antiqued effect on a mirror

First, you’ll need to disassemble your picture frame. Clean the glass and place it right-side down onto your work space.

Spray your vinegar + water mixture over the glass. You can apply it quite liberally. You want to achieve a variation in droplet sizes, and attempt to get a random pattern.

[{"selector":"#anim-9c44eb41-0eef-45a0-bf2b-f8233a9c18df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c213e259-2b44-4920-aa49-1c6c21ac163f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 113.95061%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ee6416d-8ab5-4573-b77b-72678dd57ac8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Next (and this may feel a little strange), spray your Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint all over the glass. Yep, right over top of your vinegar + water mixture.

[{"selector":"#anim-ec860668-777e-4dce-bce3-9a3b3824b5a6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a0192c2-ccb5-430c-8b8d-54247c2a2090","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-7deg) translate3d(114.09395%, 0px, 0) rotate(7deg)","rotate(-7deg) translate3d(0px, 0px, 0) rotate(7deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

After you’re satisfied with your coverage, use your paper towel to dab away the vinegar + water mixture. You want to be gentle and remove all the moisture you can without rubbing or scrubbing at your glass.
