Kim from Sand & Sisal is back here to show us a simple way to transform an inexpensive charger that is normally used for special dinners into a stunning mirror that can grace your walls year round. This is one of those easy projects where you think…why didn’t I think of that? So welcome Kim as she shows us this quick project that I know you will want to try yourself.
I own chargers, but let’s get real here. How many of us actually use our chargers except for maybe a holiday dinner place setting? As much as I find myself gravitating toward the rows of chargers on store shelves, I know they won’t get used in my home! Chargers CAN be used though, maybe not the way you might think. Today, let me show you how to Turn a Charger into a Mirror! Now, THAT is something I can use!
Pier One always has a great collection of chargers to chose from. I chose 2 styles I liked. One was this ruffled edge wood charger in white with a bit of distressing. Pretty isn’t it?
The other charger had a black iron scrolled look. I needed white though, so I spray painted it in Heirloom White.
I picked up 7 inch mirrors at a craft store. They were under $3 each.
Apply adhesive to the back of the mirror and gently press your mirror in the center of the charger. You can use any adhesive you like, hot glue, silicone, E-6000, etc.
Allow your adhesive to set up, then flip your charger mirror over and hot glue on either a saw-tooth hanger or like I used… a soda can tab! I love these things! Think UP-CYCLING people!
And there you have it, a beautiful mirror made out of a charger you were never using in the first place! How easy is that? Use one or group many together for a beautiful mirrored wall display!
Let me know if you think you’d give this décor craft a try! I’d love to hear from you!

What a super idea!
I want to know if we can find out what color she used on that wall! It’s amazing! I’m looking for colors for my house and that one’s GORGEOUS!
Haha! Thanks so much! It’s Atmospheric by Benjamin Moore. It was a popular Pottery Barn color a few years ago.
I loooooove those! Fantastic! It would be so cool to do a large collection of 5 or 7 of them! Thanks for sharing.
This is such a brilliant idea!!! The best part is they can be customized for anybody’s home decor! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea!
What an amazing idea, Kim! I love them!! Megan
It’s incredible how perfectly the mirrors fit those chargers! Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
two thumbs up!
Had my eye on the Pier One charger for months. Was thinking thinking I could add a mirror, but didn’t know exactly how. Thanks for the step by step instructions now I will finally by one!
