So I said to friends that I was going to decorate a round mirror with plastic spoons. Apart from the odd giggle to the outright laugh I got very mixed reactions
But I went ahead and bought some spoons and silver mesh and the silver flowers from Amazon and made a start.
I watched a lot of videos on YouTube and the one that really inspired me to make this mirror was a lady called LuAnn Skaggs and I am adding her video here.....
I followed her steps but I made mine bigger and a little more elaborate than Lu-Ann's and I used a round mirror instead, but I am delighted with the result.
It is so pretty and mine is quite big and it is going to look amazing on my wall ... when I find one to add it too. !!
She has so many beautiful ideas and I am going to try some more when I have the time.
Here is a close up of the spoons and their decoration and I had a lot of fun making it.
I used a really strong epoxy glue to hold everything in place but it smells strong so make sure you work in a well ventilated area
I want to add sparkle to some Christmas presents and I will show you those once I have given them as presents.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Hello Christina,
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'd have laughed as well as your friends but the result is amazing, I'll check this lady out!
I see you had the "wandering" die cutting machine again, how you stay cool, calm and collected is beyond me.
