Do-it-yourself, also known as DIY, is the activity of decorating, building, and modifying and repairs at home by ourselves rather than employing an expert. Nowadays a trend has been set to DIY each and every possible thing at home from kitchen gadgets to mirror frames to fashion, clothes and everything.
One such trend is the DIY mirror decoration. In my previous article, Pep up your home with mirror decorating ideas, I had talked about how various mirrors transform your room to style and glamour. Here I would show some easy and simple DIY ideas for mirror frame decorations so that incorporating these would be less expensive and would serve the urge of changing the look of the home decor periodically.
Seashell Mirror
Adorn your wall with these beautiful seashell mirror and bring a coastal touch to your home décor. Procedure to make them is easy. Collect shells of various sizes. If shells collected from the beach, then rinse thoroughly and dry them. Or else can purchase from a crafts store. Take a flat frame surface mirror. Cover the mirror with a paper and start hot gluing the small shells first. Fill the gaps with medium shells and then the large shells to give it a fuller look.
Remove the extra glue with a thick brush. U can varnish the shell frame to give a more polishing look. Tada!! Seashell mirror is ready to feature on the wall.
Try both these below for a beautiful pattern. White Starfish will show out in the tiny colored sea shells and your frame will come out beautifully giving a fresh touch to nautical or beach decor.
Tennis Racket Mirror
A fun way to create a pretty mirror or a wall feature is to hang a racket mirror on your wall. Just take an old racket to a hardware or glass shop and ask for a custom oval shaped mirror that fits inside the racket. Then put liquid nails on top of the strings and press the mirror down gently. Let the glue dry overnight and hang your new racket mirror with a nail.
Another method is to take off the racket strings, sand it down with a sand paper, then polish or varnish it for a better finished look and leave it to dry. Now place a perfectly custom oval shaped mirror and stick with glue to the racket. Place a wooden plank with a closed eye bolt hook and stick it to the back of the mirror and voila! Hung it up and flaunt your wall in style.
