1. Color-block galaxy mirrors (h/t A Kailo Chic Life)
These color-block galaxy mirrors are totally out of this world! I have to be honest – blues and purples are my favorite colors, but these mirrors would probably be just as pretty with almost any other color combo.

2. Simple rope mirror (h/t My Pear Tree Home)
This simple rope mirror totally makes me think of the beach! The natural rope would fit in pretty well with most styles of decor, but I'd love to see a version made with cream-colored or brown rope as well.

3. Colorful splatter paint wall art (h/t A Beautiful Mess)
If fun and colorful is more your style, this splatter pain wall art is perfect! It would be such a fun project to make, and the color possibilities are endless. How do you think an ombre version would look?

4. Mirrored console table (h/t Anika's DIY Life)
This sleek mirrored console table might not be the best way to check your reflection, but it's oh-so-stylish! If you already have a console table that you love, why not just steal this idea and add some mirrored panels to the front?

5. Windowpane mirror (h/t It's A Grandville Life)
I don't think that windowpane mirrors will ever go out of style, but who knew that they were so easy to make yourself? I love this look, but what I love even more is the fact that you can customize the size of the mirror to perfectly fit wherever you want to put it.

6. Broken mirror wall art (h/t Potholes And Pantyhose)
They say that breaking a mirror gives you seven years of bad luck, but is that still true if you take the pieces and make them into a gorgeous piece of wall art? Considering this was made from pieces of broken glass, I can't believe how expensive it looks!

7. Glass pane mirror made from 80s chandelier (h/t Sarah M. Dorsey Designs)
Chandeliers from the 1980s can be found in almost every thrift store, but I've never been tempted to buy one until now! This would also be an awesome way to upcycle the old chandelier your grandma gave you... in a way that actually matches your home decor!

These knock-off Ballard Designs mirrors definitely look expensive, but you can actually make them yourself for next to nothing! In fact, its so easy that you might as well make a few for your friends while you're at it.

9. Color wheel mosaic mirror (h/t Mosaic Works)
Celebrate your artistic spirit with this beautiful color wheel mosaic mirror! This mirror is definitely a statement piece, but if you don't have the space for something this large, you could easily make a smaller version.

10. Chrysanthemum mirror (h/t Addicted 2 Decorating)
Would you ever have guessed that this mirror was made out of plastic spoons? I wouldn't have! You can buy colorful plastic spoons online (or maybe even at the dollar store), but if you want this to be a real budget project, you could buy white spoons and paint them yourself.

You might already have enough mirrors that you love... but you probably have space in your home for this adorable mirrored vase! You could even make a taller version if you can find the right size of mirror!

12. Driftwood starburst mirror (h/t Sustain My Craft Habit)
I always love starburst mirrors, and this driftwood mirror is such a fun, beachy twist on the idea! Even better, you can make it with pieces of driftwood collected for free.
