How To Antique A Mirror | Thrift Mirror Makeover 

Vinegar? You said 50/50 Bleach What did you use to mist with Bleach or Vinegar?

Great tutorial! Just what I wanted to know. Just remember that the bleach solution used to take the backing off of the mirrorr, whenmixed with an ammonia based glass cleaner produces toxic fumes!

Also, you should clean the bleach off the mirror with water first, mixing windex with bleach can also cause dangerous chemical fumes!

It works!!!! Took 41 mins for the paint thinner. Very cheap. No more than 25 bucks for this looks. I'm so happy. This lady kicks ass!!! Lol ♡♡

Great idea for the tiny spray bottle.

Stunning

That looks stunning. Great job!

Love this. I can’t find the shape mirror i want in a distressed, but don’t want a perfect shiny mirror on the mantle. Gonna try this!!

Omg I love this. I'm actually doing this tomorrow. Thank you for breaking steps down!!!!!

Beautiful! And very well described. It would be also cool to see a tutorial how you painted the frame, it is beautiful too!

Shouldn't use windex to clean off bleach. There's amonia in windex. Bleach and amonia make a poisonous gas.. Other than that, great video.

Beauuuutiful. Love this. Great job

Wonderful instructions!

A tip from an "Old stripper." When applying stripper, applying in one direction, not criss-cross. On wood, apply with the grain, overlapping as little as possible. Always use safety goggles and special chemical protective gloves. This should be done outdoors if at all possible. Indoors use good ventilation. Happy stripping !

Everyone pointing out the vinegar/bleach thing, pretty sure she just mixed up words, she says bleach multiple times, so it seems bleach is what she meant.

Beautiful!!!

Really nice 👍🏻 I hope you show how to paint the mirror frame .. that’s pretty also😊 thank you!

I love this! Great job and great instruction :) it's beautiful

This looks fairly easy. I've seen other tutorials that require special chemicals, face masks and industrial gloves. I'm certainly going to try your way first! Any chance that we will get to see the how you updated the mirror frame ? Its gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing!

Good job 👍🏻 love it will try thank you 😊

Great result loved it!!what's an alternative for citrustrip if we dont have it in our country?i've asked in every DIY shop we have & they didnt even understand what i wanted to do or gave any alternative option😔 Thx!

Have you ever added any script behind to show through portions of the effect - am wanting to add old sheet music along with a music quote to one that will go over my piano. If so how would you recommend to do it.

I wanted to see you painting the frame!

Ty for great video!!

Hi Denisse, I am an old follower for your tutorials but this is the first time I ran into a situation: you said the mix is 50%-50% bleach and water but later on you mentioned vinegar instead of bleach just when you show how the mirror turned out after this spry on process. So maybe it’s a bleach/vinegar mix and no water mix or vinegar instead of the bleach. Maybe even the 3 liquids in a 33% each one? I can wait to do this to a circle mirror so please let me know what is your best advice about the mix recipe. Wish I know how to send you pics of this and other transformation I dared to make thanks your how to tutorials. From Mexico, your work fan, Sandrina

Awesome ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the tutorial! I would like to see the result clearer in the last part if it´s possible. The reflection doesn´t quite show the effect

do you have a video where you show how you transformed this frame to the end result??

What are you using to clean the mirror after the removal of the stripper. At the 6:57 mark you speak of a vinegar and water mixture. Is this correct?

I like what you did - it would be so helpful if you would list items needed below.

Hmm...I know older video...just letting them load as they come up...did you do video on frame makeover? I will do a search...great result...thank you for sharing😊k

Was it 50/50 bleach and water or 50/50 vinegar please? Great illustration.

Thank you for this informational tutorial. I need help, when I’m diluting the bleach (Clorox) and spraying it it’s not doing any reaction. I tried to use it non diluted, same, no reaction. Only if I pour it directly onto the mirror with large quantity, this is when it works. But this way I cannot get a subtle effect, only large spots of distressing. Any advice?

First you said you were using 50/50 bleach and water then you said vinegar. Which is it?

Great tutorial! Thanks Denise. Just tried this and it turned out great!!

The final effect looks great! Did you refinish the frame or was it like that already? Anyway it looks good.

Hello there .. thanks for the video .. How did you put the yellow flowers... from top of mirror as decoupage ?

How do you do gold vein effect with mirrors? It was big in the 1970s.

Vinegar or bleach?

The bleach is 50% vinegar or Clorox???

I stripped the paint off a brand new mirror, I did bleach and water and no spots, then I sprayed straight bleach and still no aging showing through even after letting the bleach sit for over an hour. What am I doing wrong?

So is it a bleach or a vinegar mix? You said first bleach n water, them on 7.12 you call it vinegar mix.

If I want to make it see through can I just rub bleach on it. Only ??

What is the vinegar/water mix eating through?

is it bleach or vinegar?

Did I miss something she stripped it off then went to bleach solution but talks about vinegar and water, where is the vinegar part?

U said vinegar and water. I assume u meant bleach and water. Right??

1/2 bleach and water, or vinegar???

I can’t find the link for the video of the mirror where the back doesn’t come off

I'm confused... Is it a WATER & BLEACH MIXTURE or a WATER & VINEGAR MIXTURE?

You said bleach & Water and then vinegar & water....which is it ?

I noticed you said in your video that it was bleach and water at first 50/50 then you are saying as you were cleaning it or spraying on it I mean that it was vinegar and water and then you went back to saying it was bleach and water which is it that would be helpful. Watch a video over and you'll see where you say it that is vinegar and water that first you say bleach and water

You said bleach then you said vinegar. Which one is it?

It's very sad to think of all of the stuff that goes into the landfill.

Wait you said bleach and water then later vinegar and water …did I miss something?

I do not know why but you cannot see your results very well in this video . Just thought you might want to know that . Too bad because I think it would be just awesome .

bleach and water then turned into vinegar and water, is this the same technique that other famous guy used with water and wine lol

Where is the link to the video where you can’t access the back of the mirror? I have a mirrored table that I can’t get to the backside of

You said water and bleach , then you said vinegar and water ??????

Thanks for the info. Btw it's called "goop" not "gook"

Your accent! Where the hell are you from?!?!

Antique is not a verb.
