How to Hang a Mirror Using a Door Knob as a Hanger

Mirrors are utilitarian things. You rarely think about them as long as they're in place when they're needed. Turn a plain everyday mirror into feminine room decor by changing it into a piece of usable art. Hang the mirror on a wide satin ribbon and anchor the piece on an antique or faux antique doorknob. Use this design with a small mirror near the front door or with a full-length version in your bedroom or bath area.
