Over the last few years I have really enjoyed decorating these mirror frames in lots of different ways. They make fantastic gifts for friends and family..and I have even sold some. Here are my latest creations..
I love purples. Here's how I did it just in case you wanna know.. I cut pieces of embossed wallpaper and stuck them to the frames, then I painted them a few times with acrylic paints giving a good covering., then I used a hot foiling pen to apply some beautiful puple foil in the plain areas. I added sequins and gems just to glam them up a bit too.
These were a gift to my Son's girlfriend who really likes them as they will match her newly decorated purple bedroom.
I wonder if anyone reading this likes to decorated frames.. I'd love to see your creations too.
Thanks for reading...

what a clever idea
ReplyDeleteHoly mackerel those are gorgeous. I love purple and wish I could make them, my nieces would adore those in their bedrooms. What an awesome gift for your sons girlfriend. What in the world is a hot foiling pen, lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Christi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely compliments on the frames.
A hot foil pen is a pen that I plug in and it heats up the nib to the right temp. then I write over hot stamping foil.. the heat makes the foil stick to the surface. I got mine years ago.. If you google 'Hot foil wizzard'... you will see something similar to mine. You can also buy 'Staedtler Hot Foil Pen-Battery Operated', I have one of those aswell, but if you are using it for a while it makes your hands hurt as you have to keep a little button pressed in.. but it does work and I know it's available in the UK and the USA...
I hope this helps..
