In our sales we always seem to have many leftover-not-so-pretty mirrors and also plenty of Christmas Ornaments all headed for the thrift stores or auction house. I think I have found a new love!..
These mirrors are so beautiful and great fun to create... I do not believe another "tutorial" is required just a few tips heading in the right direction..
Determine whether you want to hang vertical or horizontal or plan for both!... never know what might change your mind. Secure the hangers or wires on the back of the mirror, then tape off the mirror face and paint in a coordinating color. When paint has dried your can begin to embellish. Remove the ornament caps and use play dough or putty to begin placement of your ornaments, adjusting as needed to give you the look and feel that suites you. Do not forget texture along with colors. Have a flat snowflake? or even a partial broken one add it behind an ornament. Ok, when you are happy with your preliminary design grab your old faithful hot glue gun and start gluing one ornament at a time, while removing the putty... Be patient allowing glue to set and then if you are like me I just can not leave a spot unfilled or a that extra bit of glue exposed... add snippets of garland and or run a string of bead garland in, out and around...
