The chrysanthemum became a model for decorating the mirror. You are familiar with varieties with petals, the shades of which smoothly flow from a dark flower in the heart at the outer edge to a light one?
Try making a very eye catching mirror using simple disposable spoons.
- Six packs of spoons, each containing 48 pieces, for a total of 288 disposable spoons;
- scissors;
- cardboard with a diameter of 46 cm or MDF with a diameter of 46 cm and 30 cm;
- super glue or hot glue;
- paper.
We get rid of the handles of the spoons so that only the bowl remains. Scissors will help us with this..
If you use MDF to decorate the mirror with your own hands: use the handles to connect the small and large circles with glue.
Glue thick paper on top of MDF.
If you use cardboard, then you will need such a circle with a diameter of 46 cm.
We begin to make the 1st row of mirror decor petals with our own hands. It is necessary to leave a distance between adjacent spoons, which is equal to half the width of one spoon. We begin to glue the second circle of mirror decoration, placing the petals between the petals of the first row.
Continue until we reach the inner edge of the small circle..
If after pasting the last row there is a hole (as shown in the photo), then level it with sandpaper or carefully cut.
When all the spoons of the future mirror decoration are glued on, we apply several layers of paint.
Cannot be painted over the entire surface «flower», because then each row will be painted in a tone lighter than the previous one, if you start coloring from the inner circle of the future mirror decoration.
After the paint has completely dried, we glue the mirror on the back of the product with a glue gun or super glue, according to the size of the inner circle. Thus, you can easily and naturally make a mirror decor with your own hands.!
