Spooky Mirror What you’ll need: An old-looking mirror, a razor blade, glossy black spray paint, and an antique portrait from on an old book, newspaper, scissors, tape How to make it: Take the mirror apart, removing the glass from the frame, and cut an austere portrait from an old book to fit the shape of the glass. Scrape off some of the coating on the back of the mirror just enough for the image to show through when you tape it to the back. Spray the frame with black paint and reassemble.
