POWDER BOX MIRROR DECORATION

Send

More than once I encountered a problem when the blush or powder ran out, I had to throw away the packaging along with the mirror. But recently, I lost my favorite mirror and it occurred to me to have a wonderful idea - to decorate the old one to get a new one! And now you will learn how to do it.
For the master class we will need: 100% cotton; cardboard (2 mm); hot glue gun; PVA glue; scissors; brush; pencil; whatman; compass; ruler; mirror.

So, we got a mirror from the package. If you still haven't got it, then it's worth the effort. Use pliers to break off the plastic edges or pry off with something. Just do not damage the mirror. No matter what shape it is. Circle it on cardboard with a pencil. Around it, we evenly draw a circle with a compass so that there are indents of 0.5 cm (if the mirror is round, then 1 cm).
Cut the workpiece and circle it four more times. Cut out all the other circles. Three whole put aside. The remaining two need to make holes. On one of them you need to circle the mirror again. In this part we will insert a mirror so that it holds stronger. On the other, circle and draw the same oval, the diameter of which will be few millimeters smaller (it depends on the size of your mirror). You can draw by hand.

We will make the basis. Take two whole circles. Cut the fabric that was prepared for the front side in size with allowances of 0.5 cm. We apply glue to the circles with a brush and glue them to the fabric. Level the surface so that there are no wrinkles. We make incisions of the fabric around the circumference to adhere without excessive accumulation of fabric. We glue in a circle, a properly smooth fabric.

We cut the satin ribbon 3 cm wide and glue it on both parts with a glue gun, leaving a distance of 1 cm between them.

Now let's make a part with a mirror. Take a blank with a smaller oval. This will be the frame for the mirror. Glue it to the fabric in the same way as the previous blanks, only making another hole and allowances inside. We seal only the inside.

Glue the last blank with an oval that fits the size of the mirror. We apply hot-melt adhesive to the edges of the mirror and insert it into the hole in the cardboard that we just glued.

We glue the outer allowances and glue, tightly pressing for several seconds, the workpiece with a mirror to either side.

We glue the last one-piece blank with a cloth and make a small pocket. On the one hand we glue the allowances, and on the other hand we glue the allowances to the round remaining workpiece.

We glue the part with the pocket to the free base.

Here we have a mirror. Now you are sure that the mirror can be given a second chance. The pocket mirror is easy to fit in small handbags and pockets. And most importantly, you can hide something valuable and important in it, and when you look in the mirror again, remember this.
