Decorating Mirrors


This was my first experiment.

I bought a cheap plain mirror and covered the surface in Tulip fabric paint in silver. When dry, bit by bit, letting the mirror dry for a day or so, I stuck odds and ends:antique broken brooches, buttons, plastic beads etc. on it until the whole surface was more or less covered. Again, using a thick blob of Tulip fabric paint.

I was quite surprised that the items remained firmly stuck. This was fun to do and a way of recycling these odds and ends.
