- Add some translucent glitter to the spackle if you want some extra sparkle!
- This can be done on any size round mirror.
- This spackle will go on pink, but dry to white!
- Spackle, craft sand and paint are available at dollar stores. You might even be able to find a small mirror, too.
- IKEA is a great place to find inexpensive round mirrors.

Moon Mirror
This moon mirror adds celestial drama to any room. It's easy to make this statement piece!
Materials
- Spackling paste (10 oz)
- White sand (10 oz)
- Tan acrylic paint (1 oz) (Optional)
- Large round mirror
- Spatula
- An egg (or large marble)
- Cotton balls or sponge
Instructions
- Combine the spackling paste, sand, and paint into a bowl. Mix until it blends well and becomes a paste.
- Outline a moon shape on the left side of the mirror. You can just guess what you want it to look like, or use a marker to draw an outline.
- With the spatula, spread the paste over the moon-shaped area. You don’t have to be perfect! - The moon is super texturized with lots of bumps, and you want the spackle to look the same way.
- Dip an egg (or anything round-shaped) into the spackle to create a crater. Use your finger to add texture to it.
- With a cotton ball or a sponge, gently dab or stipple over the shape of the moon to add texture to it. Make sure to get the edges as well to create a blended look!
- Dry overnight!
