CLOTHES PIN MIRROR
Hi everyone, Hope everyone is having a great friday and looking forward to a wonderful weekend. I have been working on my clothes pin mirror and I finally finished. I did mine a little different than the ones I have seen on Pinterest though. As I plan on giving this on to my granddaughter to hang in her room with a frame to match. I picked out some scrap paper that I liked that was fun for her. I cut each piece to fit, I Mod Podged it each clothes pin. When I was finished with all of them, I had a round piece of wood I glued my mirror to that I bought at Micheals. I put hot glue in the middle of each clothes pin and placed it directly on the mirror and held in it place for a couple of seconds. I had to put a picture hanger on the back of the mirror to hang it on the wall and I was done! I like the way it turned out...
