I need your help to be crafty tomorrow.

I don't have strong craft skills and I really need some advice.

I want to paint the frame on my mirror. Right now it is a dull metallic gold color. I would like to paint it a shiny silver color. What kind of paint and supplies will I need? Where do I get them from?

I also have two small picture frames that I would like to paint. Is there a special paint I should use for painting frames?

I would like to glue (or whatever crafty term should be here) some pretty paper to the back of my bookshelf like this picture:

Is there a special glue I should use? Anything I need to know about doing it?

I appreciate all your help. This will be my first true craft project and tomorrow morning I am going to get supplies. I really want to make my room cute without spending too much, so any and all advice is appreciated.

For the first two what materials are you painting? For the paper maybe tacky glue that you brush on so it's even?

@pdx18, it's hard for me to tell. It seems like both are a hollow, plastic-ish material? Neither are wood.

I've had good luck with spray paint for plastics.

Oh, and I'd go to michaels or hobby lobby. Maybe joanns.

Or all of them if they're close by and use 40% off coupons.  For some reason here, they're usually within a couple blocks of one another.  Sometimes you can find 20% off your entire purchase coupons.

There's a chrome spray paint.

For the bookshelf and paper I'd use spray adhesive or mod podge.

As far as paint I have a ton of acrylics so I usually default to those but spray paint may be easier.
