Recycled magazine mirror

 

How we made the recycled magazine mirror.

We started with a small mirror (this one was sold in a set of 4 mirrors at IKEA)

 

 

Made a cardboard frame

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We glued the back of the mirror to the cardboard frame

 

 

And secured it all the way around the edge of the mirror

 

 

 

And a little bit more glue at the back

 

 

 

 

We cut strips of paper out of magazines, rolled them up, glued them with a regular glue stick and then fixed them to the sides of the frame

 

 

We cut them down with scissors or a cutter/x-acto knife to match the width of the frame.

 

 

Once the sides were covered, we started covering the front

 

 

 

 

We added a coat of varnish at the end.
