Mirror Mirror on the wall {DIY}

Here is a quick and simple DIY mirror that I did recently, with the holidays approaching you have probably seen a lot of beautiful reasonably priced plate chargers in the stores, I picked up two from the Myer home wares sale at 45% off $5.95 (steal) they are a light weight sealed plastic. I then purchased two coordinating size mirrors from the dollar store for $2.95.

This DIY literally takes 5 minutes (I think it took me longer to find my hot glue gun in my messy craft room).

1.       Firstly do a quick test and apply some hot glue to the back of the plate charger just to test the reaction, all went okay with my test.

2.       Liberally apply hot glue to the charger face in the centre and around the centre edges.

3.       Quickly applied the mirror face to the centre, wait for it….Ta da… a beautiful mirror.

 LOL It is hard to take a picture of a mirror without getting them camera or yourself in it, gym gear and all.

These mirrors are relatively lightweight so I fixed them to the wall with three 3M Velcro picture hanging tape (this stuff is super great "damage free hanging" I had some frames on the wall before and was able to pull them off with no trouble).

What do you think? $6.50 mirror for your wall? I hung one either side of our headboard to flank our bed.

My Childhood bedroom- Redecorated

My mum has been very busy redecorating my childhood bedroom. In fact I think the hardest part was getting me to cull boxes and boxes of rubbish, sort all of the collected wedding decorations & throw out 32 pairs of shoes.

The whole project was completed with a bit or furniture re-shuffling, a new bed, DIY navy blue headboard, a new quilt & some white Ikea frames. She collected all of the gold mirrors from the Salvation army/ goodwill.

I quickly snapped these pictures on a visit last weekend.

Feel free to say "Hi" to "Big white ted" and "Yellow Ted"......what an imaginative young child I was.

Check out the beautiful scalloped edge lace Valance- It is a re-purposed "Goodwill" Tablecloth find.

 Love you work mum!
