My Pinterest Summer: Project #4

Well, hey there! 

It's been awhile! 
I have been incredibly busy

Here's what I've been up to:

Caught this beautiful moment on the way
back from the gym a few days ago

Who doesn't love Star Wars fruit snacks?!

Gave blood the other day!

Even in the midst of the crazy, fun life I'm going about living, I have finished a few projects. (Yay!)

My fourth Pinterest project of the summer: 
Mirror, mirror, on the wall...


Prettified my mirror!
(Sorry for the mess of my room you see in the mirror!)

Here's what you need:
-A mirror (I used a full-length mirror from Walmart $5.00)
-Streamer (Any color you want! Got mine at Party City $.89)
-I found the "sail away" piece at Michael's for $1!
-Glue
-Hot glue gun

Here's what you do:
-Take a strip of streamer, begin rolling it like a cinnamon roll (or a rose...) (bunch streamer as you roll)
-Glue the end to keep it together
(You can use shorter pieces for smaller flowers, longer pieces for larger flowers)
-Make desired amount of flowers (I used a variety of sizes)
-Take a hot glue gun, glue them to mirror in the layout you wish
(At this point, you can use your own judgement, I added the "sail away" sign, but you could continue with flowers, or whatever you have laying around you think will look cute!)
-Attach the "sail away" sign to the mirror with a hot glue gun
-Take a look at that gorgeous person staring back at you in the mirror!

The Pinspiration!

This has been one of my favorite projects so far! It was so simple! I'm glad I learned how to make those flowers, you could use them on so many other projects!


I have completed a few projects, so keep a lookout for more posts to come soon!
