Pottery Barn Knock-Off Christmas mirror

inspired pottery barn christmas mirror

I love a good Knock-Off Project!! So when Lindsay from Makely said that she was hosting a Knocktober DIY series – I was so excited to take part in the fun!! Check out this Pottery Barn Christmas mirror!

Knocktoberfest-Banner

Welcome if you are stopping by from Teal and Lime. Isn’t Jackie’s mirror fabulous? I love it!!

teal and lime

I made a mirror too! I am starting to think  about the holidays, and so I decided to try remaking this DIY Holiday Mirror. It is on the PB website for more than $129 plus shipping — and I was able to make a similar version for under $40. Yay!! And I wanted to do a grey version that would go better with my home’s holiday decor too.

pottery barn knock off christmas mirror

Here’s how I made the PB knock-off:

I found a mirror on clearance at Lowes for $20.

I used Layla’s tutorial on how to distress a mirror. The only major change was I used a lower-strength of Muriatic acid. And instead of only waiting a couple of minutes to take effect, I had to let the solution stay on the mirror for about an hour.

  1. The first thing I did was I took the mirror out of the frame.
  2. Then I sprayed the paint stripper spray on the back of the mirror and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I used gloves, a mask and eye protection when I used the paint stripper and muriatic acid.
  3. Once that spray took effect, I used plastic scrappers and scraped the paint off the back of the mirror.
  4. Then I took the muriatic acid and put it in a spray bottle. I then sprayed the edges of the mirror back with the solution and let it sit for about an hour — until I could see the the marks were transparent.
  5. Once the mirror looked distressed enough, I wiped the excess Muriatic acid off with a clean, damp cloth.
  6. Then I took the same Grey Gloss Spray Paint and painted the frame of the mirror and the back of the mirror the same grey gloss color.
  7. Once it was all dry, I put the mirror back in the frame.
  8. And then I printed off the lettering with my Silhouette machine. I applied the vinyl and now I have a beautiful Christmas focal point. The original price is $129+ and I made mine for under $40!!

PS: The handwritten fonts I used are from the fabulous Kimberley Geschwein, and they’re free for personal use.

The script font is KG Eyes Wide Open (named after the lovely Gotye song, I suspect), and the printing one is KG Skinny Latte.

The distressed serif font is IM Fell Great Primer Pro.

The leafy things are from the Silhouette Studio library.

    I just stumbled onto your website and love it! I LOVE your version of the Pottery Barn mirror absolutely stunning. I too would be interested in purchasing the vinyl letters if possible. Please keep me posted as I would love to do this project with some girlfriends and have this mirror as part of my holiday decorating next Christmas. Thanks for sharing,,,,:)

    So, have you ever thought about selling these? I have 2 small children and am never going to find the time to make this, but I am in love with it. Any chance you might be selling them?

  4. Dean says

    November 24, 2013 at 9:01 PM

    I am probably the only guy reading this blog, but my wife was dying to get the PB Mirror. Seeing it was sold out I searched high and low and found this spectacular site. Jen, are we able to buy the vinyl lettering? I see you posted several times you were checking with a friend of yours and I am having issues getting the font lined up. Thanks

    • Dean says

      November 25, 2013 at 7:53 AM

      I am so anxious to make (try) one of these mirrors I am replying to myself. Jen what size was the mirror and what font size did you use for the silhouette vinyl (assuming your friend is not selling the pattern). Thanks and have a great day! – Dean

  5. Angela says

    What fonts did you use?

    Wow, wow, wow, I LOVE your mirror much better than the original!! Kudos to you and TFS.

  7. Becca Hasbrouck says

    November 2, 2013 at 12:07 PM

    What is a silhouette? Can I use my cricket? And why did you remove the back of the mirror?

    • dean says

      November 25, 2013 at 1:55 PM

      You remove the back of the mirror so you can access and remove the coat of paint put on the mirror to protect the silver mirror coat. Once you carefully remove the protective paint you spray on the acid to eat the area you mist (with acid) and the silver coating. Then you blot up the excess very carefully and wait for it to dry. Clean gently, let dry again and re-paint and seal the back of the mirror to protect the remaining silver. That is what gives it that aged look.

  8. Norman Sappenfield NDS Crafts says

    October 29, 2013 at 6:25 PM

    you could have a lot of time and trouble…….just by replacing the glass with plexiglass…….I have painted of plexiglass for years and had no trouble with it …….saves on glass breakage also…….just a little hint…..fro an old 30 yr sign painter………

  9. Katie says

    October 28, 2013 at 7:59 AM

    do you sell the ‘have yourself a merry little christmas mirrors?

  10. Melissa says

    October 28, 2013 at 7:19 AM

    Could you just start with an old piece of glass since you removed all the mirror part and then put it back on? I have some smaller picture frames lying around.

    • Brittney says

      November 21, 2013 at 3:32 PM

      What she did was use the chemical to remove just bits of the “mirror” and then paint the back of it to match the color of the frame and lettering. You could just use glass and paint it with “mirror” paint, but then you would just use the chemical to take off a little bit to get that look. Hope this helps. 🙂

  11. Mimi says

    October 27, 2013 at 7:48 PM

    I love this mirror — so cute! You did a great copy. I like the vintage quality of it and good call on the grey.

  12. Heather @ Beyond the Aisle says

    October 27, 2013 at 7:09 PM

    Your knock-off mirror is gorgeous – I have to say I like it better than the PB version. My husband and I visited the International Furniture Market in High Point this month and there were distressed mirrors everywhere, so I don’t see this trend going away anytime soon!

  13. Susan martin says

    I too, like your mirror better than the PB one! I like a thick frame around a larger mirror. I don’t own a silhouette … going to Michael’s today … there may be a silhouette in my future 😉 Thank you for sharing!

    The Christmas mirror is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with so many of us!! I am just starting this “sign craft thing” and wondering between a Cricut and a Silhoutte. Do you have any pointers for me about this. Thank you so very much.

    • Woody says

      December 8, 2013 at 9:17 PM

      If you purchase a cricut you also have to purchase all those cartridges. But if you purchase the Silhouette you can make up your own designs. I own a Cricut wish I would have spent a little extra and got the Silhouette.

  26. Britney L says

    October 24, 2013 at 8:06 AM

    I heart this frame so much! I can’t wait to try making this or using the distressing technique. Also, thank u so much for listing the font. I wish this whole design was on the sil store. Have you ever thought about becoming a shape designer?? You should look into it. You got skills!

  27. Roeshel says

    What a beautiful mirror! Such a fresh and inspiring post. I was surprised to see the lettering was vinyl – it certainly doesn’t look that way! I can just see this on my mantel:) Thank you for sharing this. One quick question – do you think the looking glass, mercury type method would work also?
    I really love this!

  31. gail says

    October 23, 2013 at 3:33 PM

    Love your project Jen! so much better than the real thing. I did a mirror thing a couple of weeks for the mystery box (krylon) I tried to age it without the acid….didn’t work. 🙁

    super job girl!

  33. Kelsey says

    October 23, 2013 at 12:38 PM

    What Kimberley Geschwein font did you use for the leaves? I have looked on her website and cannot seem to find it. Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. It looks so much better than the PB version!!

    • Jen says

    I absolutely adore anything Pottery Barn, although I never buy…(too expensive!) I love what you have done with that mirror. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

  35. Jackie of all Trades SpoolTeacher says

    October 23, 2013 at 9:52 AM

    Well, well. Ms. SpoolTeacher thinks your version is so much nicer than PB and she didn’t get the pop in your face pop-ups to have to get around to see yours. Great job. Now she knows how to make a mirror look old. Thanks.

  36. Amy Huntley says

    HI: This is a really cute project. I downloaded the fonts that you specified, but I am having a hard time figuring out which ones are which. Do you think you could say which words are in which font? And also where is the little leave design from. Thanks so much.

      The vinyl I used is a dark grey – it matches the grey spray paint I used on the frame and the back of the mirror.

    • Jen says

      October 22, 2013 at 12:25 PM

      Thanks for reminding me — I updated the post to specify that. Ask at your hardware store, but I just used one of my sanding/painting masks that I buy in big packages :). I used standard latex gloves and my pink safety glasses. I looked impressive!

    I was so sure that the red mirror was the knock-off until I read the entire post. Sometimes you can just tell which was a copy. But yours blew my mind. It is far more beautiful than the one that is for sale for $$ at Potterybarn. Good job!
