Breathing life into an old mirror
Probably every person has some old, old thing that it’s a pity to throw away. It is often difficult to place such a thing anywhere, because it does not look anywhere and only spoils the entire interior.
So it is with me. While cleaning the apartment I inherited from my grandmother, I found this old mirror:
I feel sorry for throwing it away, but leaving it just like that is also unacceptable.
First, we need to cover the mirror with double-sided tape. I chose a product made by Buromax.
Depending on the size of the mirror and its shape, you should choose adhesive tape of different sizes. For my case, the middle one worked well.
Carefully cover the mirror with tape.
Advice from personal experience: If your mirror has ever been painted, try to get the tape on the first time. The paint sticks to the glue and the tape becomes unusable.
If you want to make the frame more beautiful, use a utility knife to cut out waves from the tape.
It is very important that the knife is sharp. In the end it should look like this:
I'm going to decorate the mirror in a romantic style. For this you will need:
1. Beads in several colors.
2. Plastic decorations, which can be purchased at craft stores.
3. Organza ribbon.A bow will be tied from it.
4. Several dry twigs.
Now carefully remove the protective film from the tape and sprinkle the frame with beads. You can also use fish bait instead; it will cost even less and will look no less nice. In some places you should leave free space for other decorations.
We form a bow from the ribbon.
It is tied in the same way as shoelaces. After that, we place the branches where we like and attach a bow on top.
Plastic decorations can be attached to the sides or placed freely. Here's what happened:
It is not necessary to choose the same version. Fantasize, come up with your own ideas and create a unique mirror that will undoubtedly become the main decoration of your home!
