5. Haunted Mirror Gallery
Transform ordinary thrift store mirrors into portals to another dimension with this delightfully spooky DIY. This project is perfect for a group, as you can spend an afternoon hunting for cheap, ornate plastic or wooden frames at local thrift shops before bringing them home for a supernatural makeover. Using a combination of matte black paint, silver metallic spray, and a simple solution of vinegar and water, you can distress the glass to look hundreds of years old, complete with antique silvering decay.
To add a truly ghostly element, print out vintage, translucent portraits of Victorian figures and adhere them behind the distressed glass areas. When the light hits the mirror just right, the faded faces of the “spirits” will seem to peer out from behind the reflection. Hang these as a cohesive, haunted gallery wall in your hallway to give your guests a thrilling, immersive experience as they walk through your home.
