Welcome to my latest post, this time round we are looking at decorating mirror's it's quick its easy and it's fun.
I break out my Geek.
Most of my supples come from my local Art's and Crafts Store, and The Reject shop.
Make sure to cheek out my Other Decorated Mirrors below.
What I used/Use.
- Circle Mirror: you can use any shape but rounds all I had available to me at my local craft shop.
- Assorted Glitters
- Assorted Stickers: make sure it fits your mirror over flow is yuck!
- Clear Glue Or Glue that dry's clear
- Clear Nail Polish: Optional
- Decals/Rhinestones: Optional
- Thread or Paper clip: Optional if you wish to use the mirror as a wall decoration
- Scrapbook Paper and/or Decorative Card: Optional
I go with Stickers mainly because I have so many and I need to rein my printer hehe....
Today I decided to do a Geekie Mirror, with the new Star Wars coming out I decided this would be a good time to let my Geek shine.
I personally prefer to use Clear Nail polish to Glue my Glitter onto my mirror then Glue though it is possible to do it with Glue. I simply find it easier with Nail polish.
It dry's quicker then Glue which means you can spend less time making your Mirror Art and more time Enjoying it.
For this mix I used, White, Green, Light Green, Blue, black Star shaped nail art things.
(Side Note - Make sure to have a piece of paper underneath so you don't wast any Glitter)
Repeat until you've covered as much of the Mirror as you desire then over top of that use another two layers of Clear nail polish OR Glue to keep all the glitter in place.
However since I've gone all out with this Mirror I decided to finish it off with some Star war's esk. decals.
After finishing off the decorating, Running your glue/nail polish over the whole mirror or even just over the sticker, will keep the Mirror lasting.
The wait another hour before attempting to back it.
Scissors, Hot Glue Gun/Superglue, Pencil.
