2 Minute Mirror

Many of you have probably seen or thought of this idea before, but in case you haven't here is a cheap and easy DIY that you can literally do during your lunch hour! Sunburst and circular mirrors in general are one of my favorite things to decorate with, whether it's lining them up in a triad. . .

Of course you can spend a lot of money on these mirrors. . . or you can make your own from a few unexpected pieces you probably have hiding in your kitchen cabinets!

All you need is:

-a circle mirror (find them at an craft store)
- a charger that fits your taste
- a tube of construction adhesive

Simply squeeze a dollop of adhesive onto the back of the mirror and press it onto your charger. Then, place something heavy (I used a couple of books) on top of mirror until the adhesive dries. And you're finished!

Of course you can use all sorts of other items rather than chargers. Let your imagination run wild! I'll be showing you a new idea for a DIY sunburst mirror soon too! Yay!

Happy Monday!

  3. Sorry it this is a dumb question...but what's a charger? I love this mirror and it looks like you only need 3 things to create it. I get the circle mirror and the adhesive, but whats the other "material"?
