Princess mirror...

2nd post today :)

I made this little mirror to go in my nieces Christmas hamper....99p mirror from ikea, 1 sheet of patterned paper, flowers, brads and gems i already had in :)First cover the mirror with double sided tape (this means its easier to take apart later and redo when she outgrows the pink and flowery stage)...place paper over the top and cut around the edges...doesnt matter if its not straight...using a nail file or some sandpaper smooth out the edges...cut out the middle section, file and ink.....ink the outer edges...fasten ribbon so the bow is on the left hand side...
Decorate the right hand side with flowers (layer and bulk them up with different colours and different brads)...add glitter or gems or something to make it sparkle :DAnd yes i know the mirror needs a good clean - it didnt show up until i took the pics!! EEK! lol

    Hi there, thanks for adding as a follower on my blog - nice to 'meet' you!

    I bought my apple in a shop in Worcester, but the below link on ebay is for a pair which are quite similar - hope it helps!

    Awe that's lovely - what a nice present. I love all those layered up flowers. Hmm - my great neice has a new bedroom so I might just follow your excellent instructions myself - thanks for the idea Debbie.
