Refurbish Mirror

Well I have been looking around at different blogs on how they have taken something that has been used and not wanted any longer and then give it a uplift and then they have a new item. I thought I would give it a try and see if I could turn some used things into something new again. Well my first project was a dresser mirror that I found at a thrift store. It was only $7.00. My oldest daughter has been bugging me for a fun mirror for her room so I thought this would be a perfect opputunity to try giving something an uplift.It was a dingy white color so the first thing I had to do was paint that black . I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up the ruffled pink ribbon (matched Jessica's room perfectly) which I hot glued around the frame of the mirror. After that I decided to put some bling on the mirror which I felt added to the mirror and since there was such a large space on the bottom of the mirror and it was solid black I felt something more had to be put on there so I went to WalMart and sure enough I found some glitter chipboard that said Love with some hearts and I hot glued that to this open area.
I have to say it turned out pretty good and Jessica loved it so that is all that really matters anyway.
Well until my next post.
Have a great day!

Decorate the Letter "J"

Well I was so excited after finishing the wooden "Q" for my nephew I thought I would do one for my oldest daughter. I went shopping at Michaels again (I love this store) and down the $1 to $3 isle they have all kinds of bins full of different items and sure enough there laid a white J. I am so excited because I don't have to paint this letter and I am thinking I am not going to cover it up with paper either. I can't wait to get started.

Ok so here is the finish product instead of covering the letter with scrapbook paper I decided to use pink jewels and hearts. She also loves Hello Kitty so I used the Hello Kitty cartridge and made one.

Here is a close up of Hello Kitty I also thought since the J had bling so of course I had to put some stickels on the dress and flowers. I think it turned out pretty good.

Well I will see you at the next post.
