Create a Garden Mirror Display To enhance your garden's aesthetic, consider creating a mirror display using two vintage window frames and mirrors of varying sizes.
Materials Needed Two Vintage Window Frames: Look for frames that have character, preferably with rustic details like cracked paint or weathered wood. These frames will serve as the foundation for your mirror project. Two Mirrors: You will need mirrors cut to fit snugly within the window frames. The different sizes can add visual interest and depth to the display. Cost Estimate Making It Cost: Approximately $20* This creative, recycled concept not only beautifies your garden but also helps keep old window frames out of landfills. By repurposing worn-out frames, you can add a unique decorative element to your patio or garden area. The mirrors will reflect light and create an illusion of a larger space, making your garden feel more open and inviting.
Installing Your Garden Mirrors Once you have secured the mirrors to the vintage window frames, the next step is to hang them on the sides of your shed or fence. This positioning allows the mirrors to reflect the surrounding greenery, whether it be the forest or your garden, creating an illusion of expanded space.
However, it's important to consider the potential impact on local wildlife. Birds may inadvertently fly into the glass, mistaking it for open air. If your yard is frequented by birds, you might want to think twice about this decorative concept or take precautions to minimize the risk, such as adding decals or other visual markers to alert birds.
