A little while ago Papercutz sent me a bundle of card that had some of their silver shiny mirror card in and I knew instantly that I was going to make Cherry a no glass mirror with it.
She loves pretending to do her make-up with me but real mirrors are so dangerous, especially when kids are banging stuff against them so this is the perfect solution.
I started by cutting out some cardboard then made a heart shaped hole in it. I drew it on then used a craft knife to cut it out.
I also cut a little piece of cardboard out to act as the stand.
I covered it all in washi tape, I used this Scotch one
Then I used my glue gun to stick the mirror card on the back.
I stuck more washi tape over the card to cover it then used the glue gun to stick the stand on.
I am also going to make a little handheld mirror, you could also let the kids paint them as an alternative to the washi tape.
