....one was so very large and accomplished on a garage sale find..............a relative wanted it...........it took forever to complete.................it was about the size of a large bathroom mirror...........which is where it ended up! .and .....well................................i never saw it again! :)
.......this was a basic new black mirror........from michaels.................. about 16 x 20........i used e-6000 as the glue....got most of the shells at big lots and i utilized some i already had............and touched up in between the shells with white paint here and there...........
...........i also used clear glass flat marbles.......also from big lots.............as the trim.........and then i painted them to soften them a bit...................i do like the look....its soft.......and oh so shabby...................
....remember the drapes i (kinda) made for the patio? that is what is piled up there :) oh well.......................i do love how it turned out......it was an easy project and so fun......it would be...fun with the kiddos too.................think i may put this in the guest bathroom......................have a wonderful weekend sunshines ! .......hugs kat =^.^=
............shamless advertisement for cheez-it..s! hey kellogg! are you listening?????? ...............i ate the whole box workin this mirror! :) .....i need more! lol..........................l.o....t....s..........! :)

DeleteHi Kat - We've never met before (virtually or in person - found you at FJI), so how could you know that I have all of the {ok, maybe some of the shells} stuff to make a seashell mirror, but didn't know how to begin. My girls {all grown up} remember a shell mirror from their favorite vacation spot {Driftwood, Vero Beach,FL} when they were small. They want to make one and I have been gathering ingredients at thrift stores everywhere. We just needed a tutorial. You rocked this tutorial, thanks so much!
