This is the BEFORE photo. It's an old oak mirror that has been sitting in our barn waiting for a good home, then the glass got smashed - hopefully not 7 year's bad luck as well!
The mirror glass has been removed and the outer oak frame has been repaired. I then covered a precut pinex oval shape with stretch velvet using a staple gun to hold the velvet in place on the back of the pinex.
The wrong side of the pinex was nailed to the back of the oak frame to secure in place. Picture screws were inserted with wire so that the bling frame can be hung up for display.
Completed frame - rather off centre in the photo. However, this is a wonderful way to display all that jewellery that gets tangled at the bottom of your drawers! I now have orders from my daughters and their flatmates to make them a similar project.
Also a fantastic project for my year 10 students when they study interior design during term 4.
