I know I'm suppose to be resting, but I did this from the comfort of my couch.
I was looking at some of my mat boards, and had the idea to turn them into little mirrors. Of course, I had to give the board extra flair. So, I added script. For the mirror, I backed them with Mylar.
Yes, I have tons of Mylar I picked up at a garage sale. It has a nice reflective surface. I knew I'd think of something to do with it.
I even decorated the back.
Then I added the string. So, what do you think?
In the midst of creating, I paused to say a prayer for Boston. My heart breaks for all those involved in this brutal act.

High school girls would LOVE these for their lockers! They are so darling!
ReplyDeleteI am going to steal your mylar idea for the mirror on my secretary, if we are ever on speaking terms again! (The secretary and I). Can you buy mylar like that at a craft store?

ReplyDeleteWhat a simple and cute idea, Rosemary. I'm sure it's terribly hard for such a creative mind as yours to slow down to "rest" mode! :)

Hello! This project is so pretty and looks a little bit on the "easy" side for moi!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know where you get your materials that have script on them. I would really appreciate it if you could provide an answer.
In addition, what did you use to cut the oval shape for the mylar mirror?
Thank you for posts. I enjoy them every day.
And please know that each and every prayer that is sent up to our heavenly FATHER (especially regarding this recent Boston terror) always counts. No prayer is too small to send.
