A Spotted Canary Project by ekb

13 August 2009

Bring a bit of the ocean into your home with this stunning altered mirror. Use this technique for other home decor themes too.

Instructions

STEP 1:

If you are using an unfinished frame, make sure to paint it first so the wood grain doesn’t show through the tissue paper.

STEP 2:

Remove mirror from frame. Spread glue on mirror frame. Lay tissue paper over, crumbling as you go. Let dry. Repeat.

STEP 3:

Trim excess paper and apply a final layer of glue to seal. Let dry.

STEP 4:

Wrap cording around frame. Tie in a square knot and add slip knots to cording tails.

STEP 5:

Apply stickers to frame, using foam adhesive to adhere some. Insert mirror.
